Hi Sylvia,
I keep coming back to your thread....trying different combinations.... although I think I have tried them all..... you might have the answer ......they were beamed up !!!!



So frustrating.....unless as someone suggested the pages were destroyed or damaged too much....although if that does happen Ancestry normally says so.....am I right ??

Regards vera

Hi Vera,

I'm not sure whether ancestry says the pages are damaged or not, I haven't actually seen a comment like that.


I think I'm coming to the belief that Sarah was widowed, moved with some or all of the children to lodge or board somewhere, and they have been included (either on the census or on the transcript) under the name of the Head of that household.


I do rather like the idea of the alien ship though .................. at least it makes a change from cotton mill worker, ag lab, lace maker, etc, which is what most of my families seem to do! Benjamin, and his sons Samuel and William, are anomalies in that they were Mechanics!


.... and, it accounts for all the other missing rellies that people ask about!


best wishes,
sylvia

www.familyhistoryonline.net has the unfilmed parts of the Manchester 1851 census.

There is a free search by name which gives a Benj, 3 Benjamin and 1 Benjm Schofield.
It then costs to look at more details for them and then £1 to see a transcription of the whole page.

Might be worth a look.

Andy

BRILLIANT!!


I've found them!!

I started with Joshua, thinking he might be a little easier.


First image I choose to look at


Living in Oldham Below Town, Bedfor Street.


Benjamin is still alive, a Mechanic and shows he was born ca 1814 (age 37)

Children:-
William, James, Sarah Ann, Samuel, and Joshua


You're wonderful!!!
