Thanks Nikki Did try to put it down in a readable fashion but didn't quite work, Have a possible marriage for Henry born 1849, could be on Vol 9c page 547, but can't load 1837 at the moment

Could this possibly be your Henry in 1881 Name: Henry Fellows Age in 1881: 33 Age months: 0 Estimated birth year: abt 1848 Relationship to head-of-household: Pauper Household: View other family members Family and neighbors: View neighbors Gender: Male Where born: Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Address: 'Sheffield Union Work House' Kelham St Civil parish: Sheffield County/Island: Yorkshire Condition as to marriage: Married Occupation: Tin Plate Worker Education: View Image Employment status: View Image Source information: RG11/4649 Registration district: Sheffield Sub-registration district: North Sheffield ED, institution, or vessel: Sheffield Union Workhouse Kelham St Folio: 143 Page: 4

Nikki Yes that was the marriage but it can't be them as his wives name in 1901 is Emma!! Zoe I've spotted that in the census for for Henry in the workhouse but he had a family at that time according to the records in 1901 so I can't see it been him - but I have presumed that it could be and started searching under his wives and childrens names in 1891 and bfore but with no luck

This should be them on the 1891, last name misspelled Felours, Charlotte abt 1879 Sheffield, Yorkshire, England Daughter Ecclesfield Yorkshire Felours, Emma abt 1850 Sheffield, Yorkshire, England Wife Ecclesfield Yorkshire Felours, Frank abt 1881 Sheffield, Yorkshire, England Son Ecclesfield Yorkshire Felours, George A abt 1891 Sheffield, Yorkshire, England Son Ecclesfield Yorkshire Felours, Harry abt 1874 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Son Ecclesfield Yorkshire Felours, Henry abt 1850 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Head Ecclesfield Yorkshire Felours, Tom abt 1884 Sheffield, Yorkshire, England Son Ecclesfield Yorkshire Rose

But it does state that the one in 1881 is married but he is a pauper maybe his family was with other family members Zoe

Thats them with the name spelt wrong!! Thankyou - perhaps that's why I can find traces of them in any census becasue of the spellings, or perhaps for over 100 years we have been spelling it wrong

Spellings of surnames do change in families over the years I have the surname Pickles that was originally PIGHILLS - why I don't know? This is just a thing that sometimes happens Zoe

Wouldn't be surprised I have a family who were always known as Warren until I started this and have found out that they were Rogans, have no idea why they used Warren Think the 1881 one is right for Henry living in the workhouse as he has the same occupation, now need to know where the rest of the family were in 1881

poss marriages for Henry & Emma: HENRY FELLOWS Male Family Marriages: Spouse: EMMA JONES Family Marriage: < 1874> <Tipton, Stafford, England> OR HENRY FELLOWES Male Family Marriages: Spouse: EMMA PROBERT Family Marriage: 02 MAY 1869 Saint Martin, Birmingham, Warwick, England

Mmmm 2 to go at !! On the census Emma is showing as born in Sheffield! But I do feel drawn to the Probert one - don't know why

Just had a look at 1851 & 1861 for you, no Emma Proberts from Sheffield though.....

Don't know where to go with this now Hvae them all in 1901, 1891 and Henry in the workhouse (married) in 1881, definatley him as the occupation is exactley the same even on his sons marriaeg cert in 1897,

Joanne Have you got access to Ancestry? Nikki Ignore that..... I've found a rather interesting/confusing entry in 1881: 3 House Ct 3 Hollis Croft, Sheffield, Yorkshire, England It reads...... Henry Fellows son aged 6 b Birmingham, warwickshire Emma Fellows daur aged 13 Birmingham, Warwickshire Emma Hall lodger aged 32 Sheffield, Yorkshire Frank Hall son aged 4 mths Sheffield, Yorkshire.

Ask for a 1861/1871 lookup on Henry and see if he is with family or not-i would do it but don't have access Zoe

Yes I've got acess and have done what I can with regards to searching under the name of Fellows, and Felours and even Follows but seem to be drawing a blank
