I have John Tuft b.1842 on 1861 census with his family but he's not with them on 1871 census and I can't seem to find him at all. I've checked for a marriage and death but can't seem to find anything that would fit. Would somebody have a look to see if I've missed him?

Thanks
Maisy

Thanks for your replies. I'll check out your findings and see if it's possibly him. I've already ordered 1 marriage certificate that was wrong but I'll probably try the marriage cert.

Thanks again

I think you can rule Eliza out. The 1891 sounds a good bet though.

Good afternoon. Sorry I haven't been back on here but I've just returned from work.

Dee - the 1891 census does look like it could be him as on 1861 he's a cooper, perhaps he never married.

Thank you once again to all who added to this and for taking the time to look for me.
