Yes Julie, thats the family. Libby

Libby tried every way i can think of and can't find any of them Julie

Nor me only in 1891 when Amelia was married but mother was living with her. Thanks for taking the time. x Libby

Have you discounted this one? Is it possible that Amelia had another first name? 181 Coventry Road, Aston, Birmingham, Warwickshire Susanna Angell Head Wid 57 Takes Care of Houses b. Warwick Birmingham Helena A Angell Daur Unm 29 Schoolmistress b. Warwick Birmingham William Banford Brother Unm 60 Jeweller b. Warwick Birmingham Ann Manns (?) Visitor Unm 30 Schoolmistress b. Warwick Birmingham Mary A Wankling Serv Unm 16 General Servant Domestic b. Warwick Birmingham

Kate, Amelia was definately her first name. It seems strange because I can not find any of her immediate family in the 1881 census, I know she married William Stubbs Nov 1881 Aston so she must still be in the area. And her sister Emily married 1882 . Transcribers must have really messed up with the surname on this one, unless this is one of the years and areas that are missing. Libby

Hi All,

Still after 5 years i am unable to find any of the previous mentioned family. If any one can help would be extremely grateful. Thanks in advance. x
