Trying to find descndants of Josiah Harding b 1858c. In 1881 census is given as an Ironworker, living at 174 Great Bridge St. West Brom,Staffs with mother Mary Ann Harding b 1837c in Cheshire, and sister Mary Elizabeth b 1869. Don't have subscribed access to Ancestry so can't look passed 1881, and don't know if he ever married and had off-spring

Edith Jones is listed as Neice and William Nicholls is a lodger. I am not 100% sure that 1871 is correct - although sister and mother's name are corect with 1881 it has his mothers age and place of birth different - Oswestry, Shrops but cheshire on 1881?
I can't find him in 1891 or 1901 sorry
