Ihave managed to find my greatnan in the 1881 census together with her mum and dad and brothers and sisters. Her name is annie emma carpenter and she lived at 23, great croft street,I presume this is in darlaston staffordshire as that is where they were all born. Her mum was phoebe carpenter and dad was benjamin carpenter born both 1833. The children were annie 1865, harry 1877,roger 1874, sarah 1871 and thomas 1868. The problem I have is I can only trace what happened to annie 9my greatnan) but I can'y find any of the other. Just wondered if anyone cpould help me with finding what happened to them. Whether they married had children or whatever.Thanks Dawn.
