	I have Samuel Dunn who married Sarah Fehr in December 1861. In 1871 they were living in Market Street, Kingswinford and Samuel is described as a builder, born Peckham, London. I would like to find him on the 1861 census (if anyone could oblige) but I have not got his age on 1871 census which would help identify him. Could anyone assist please? Thank you.

Member Since: April 2004 Posts: 3,419 Send Message	cant see them at all /..not in marriages.. where have you see on them 1871?
Member Since: December 2004 Posts: 2,438 Send Message	Margaret	Report	8 Nov 2007 19:26
	Actually I personally didn't find them on the 1871 but I did personally track them on the 1881 when they are living at Bromley Lane, Kingswinford. Unfortunately I didn't note his age so I am having difficulty working out when he was born so that I can possibly find his parents/siblings. Many thanks to you both.

Member Since: August 2007 Posts: 852 Send Message	I can't see them in 1881 either!!! Did they have any children? Once we can find the same Samuel Dunn that you had, we can be find the DOB and be sure we are tracking the right person...
Member Since: December 2004 Posts: 2,438 Send Message	Margaret	Report	8 Nov 2007 19:31
	Thank you Diane very much. Gosh that looks interesting. This is obviously either, as you say, private boarding school or - dare I say it - a school of correction !!! Now where on earth are his parents? Yet another puzzle.

	Folks - apologies. I must be completely fuddled tonight - the info I gave on Samuel and his marriage is correct but his wife is Louisa Jane NOT Sarah. Sarah is Louisa's sister. I've been on this computer too long and my brain is scrambled. Sorry.

	Me confusing everyone Diane. On the original thread I referred to Samuels wife as Sarah by mistake. I really am sorry.

Member Since: August 2007 Posts: 852 Send Message	Margaret... no its ok... on the 1871 though, the census has Samuel's place of birth as the same as Louisa, as opposed to Peckham/Camberwell etc. It appears Peckham is a smaller part within Camberwell. (re 1851)

Member Since: August 2007 Posts: 852 Send Message	Think I'm confusing myself too now.... seems I've found 2 possibles for 1851... I can't read the occupation of the father in the later 1851 I posted.. looks like a sexton something (which would be church related) Guess we need other evidence to secure a conviction!! I'm off to the IGI.....

	Diane - I am truly grateful and I am so sorry to have made this so difficult. I think I'll take a break now, and have a coffee, perhaps the caffeine might restore my brain cells into working order. Thank you again
