The 1841 census states that ALL the Mansfield's were born in Derbyshire ................. and that Michael Harris aged 20 was born in Scotland/Ireland or Foreign parts. Elaine ;-)

Oooh 'eck ... wasn't expecting to find this ! Deaths Jun 1843 MANSFIELD George Shardlow 19 399 It's got to be Dad ??? Marriages Jun 1846 BAGSHAW William Shardlow 19 517 Mansfield Almeria Shardlow 19 517 It's got to be Mum ... surely ? The plot thickens: 1851: William Bagshaw abt 1801 Risby, Nottinghamshire, England Head Derby St Peter Derbyshire Allmeria Bagshaw abt 1811 Shardlow, Derbyshire, England Wife Derby St Peter Derbyshire *Harris* Bagshaw abt 1839 Alvaston, Derbyshire, England Son Derby St Peter Derbyshire *Henry* Bagshaw abt 1835 Alvaston, Derbyshire, England Son Derby St Peter Derbyshire *Robert* R Bagshaw abt 1842 Alvaston, Derbyshire, England Son Derby St Peter Derbyshire Emma Bagshaw abt 1848 Derbyshire, England Daughter Derby St Peter Derbyshire <<<<<< New Baby Daughter !!!! * children from 1st marriage !

You are wonderful. I might be being a bit thick here but if Mary was born about 1830ish why isn't she on the 1841 census with all the others? Thanks again for all your help

She could have been a servant .... and they COULD have put 'ditto' under their surname when completing the details. I'm STILL searching for her ... but keep finding other info !!!!! sorry ! Deaths Dec 1881 BAGSHAW Almeria 71 Derby 7b 307 1881: Mum is with daughter again ! 21 Strutt St, Litchurch, Derbyshire, John Goodwin abt 1839 Derbyshire, England Head Almeria C. Goodwin abt 1841 Alvaston, Derbyshire, England Wife Ada A. Goodwin abt 1863 Derbyshire, England Daughter Almeria Bagshaw abt 1810 Aston, Derbyshire, England Mother in Law England *Widow* I can't find ANY of the boys - under surname Mansfield OR Bagshaw .. after 1851 (except Robert who is Brother in Law) I was hoping to find Mary 'hiding' with one of the rellies ! :-(

On the 1861 census there is an Almeria Mansfield as a Servant

Eeerm .... yep ! born about right time and in Aston ! Wonder WHY she is changing her name back to Mansfield ? There are two possible Deaths for William Bagshaw: Deaths Mar 1864 Bagshaw William Shardlow 7b 281 and Deaths Dec 1874 Bagshaw William 73 Derby 7b 341 1st one is correct Reg district ... 2nd one is correct age ! Puzzler ... but still can't find Mary E ..... Need to go and get sorted ! Good Luck. Elaine ;-) THINK Emma Bagshaw b c1848 was a servant on the 1861. Marriages Jun 1870 Bagshaw Emma Derby 7b 682 FENTON Hester Derby 7b 682 Lewsley William Derby 7b 682 PROSSER Henry Derby 7b 682

Thanks for everything. I have found a Maey Elizabeth Harris on the 1851 census she's a servant in Wimbledon. Wrong place of birth but if you look at the image they have put 'ditto' . Could be a mistake!!

I'm not 100% sure, but think I may have looked at that one - is she not Unmarried ?? .. or is this a different one ? 1871 census: Henry Prosser abt 1849 Oakham, Rutland, England Head Alfreton Derbyshire Emma Prosser abt 1847 Nottinghamshire, England Wife Alfreton Derbyshire Not sure but possible ???

Not use to reading these images so I wasn't sure whether it was 'u' for unmarried or a ditto mark. Could she have lied about being widowed?
