I have found Enoch Savage being born in Chesterfield in 1852 and he is married before 1881. I would be most grateful if somebody could find him with his family in 1861. I believe he is still in Chesterfield. If anybody could also find them in 1871 that would be a bonus. Many thanks, Frances

Thank you Shirley, I am pretty sure it will be the right family as the name Enoch is sufficiently unusual! Frances

Thank you again Shirley, Fortunately the age thing is not uncommon otherwise we would all be very upset that we could not find the correct ancestors! I am presently trying to reconcile a Catherine Renton being 23 in the '51 (as a servant) and 36 when she died in '58, having got married the previous year and had a daughter in the year before that, as an unmarried mother, all within a radius of 10miles and no other Catherines on the horizon.........???

Thank you for that Margaret. The 1852/3 fits the 1881 after he got married. Frances
