Eleanor Nunn born1848 Bosmere Suffolk.I can't find her with her mother Elizabeth Nunn and brothers and sisters louisa,James and Samuel in Needham Market in 1851.Where has she gone to? Heather

I've got one of these in 1891. Busy trying to find him in hospitals and/or other institutions but have been warned that he might just be entered under inititals. Families - who'd have them? T.O.R. ;o))

Can you post a census that have found them in?

Well, MY Eleanor was missing on the 1871 census, and eventually found staying at her grandparents, described as Helen, and with the wrong birth year! (She was known as Ellen, for the rest of her life) There were several other grandchildren there too, so I think grandad just got a bit confused about their birthdays. OC

is this the family?? 1851 England Census about James Munn Name: James Munn Age: 5 Estimated birth year: abt 1846 Relation: Son Mother's name: Elizabeth Gender: Male Where born: Rudland, Suffolk, England Civil parish: Needham Market County/Island: Suffolk Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Disability: View image Registration district: Bosmere Sub-registration district: Coddenham ED, institution, or vessel: 5a Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 148 Household Members: Name Age Robert Chapman 59 Susannah Chapman 68 Elizabeth Munn 38 James Munn 5 Louisa Munn 6 Samuel Munn 11 Mo View Original Record View original image

If that is the family could she be visiting somewhere with her father?? For example his parents or a sibling of his ?? Just some thoughts. T.O.R. ;o))

same family in 1861?? 1861 England Census about Samuel Nun Name: Samuel Nun Age: 10 Estimated birth year: abt 1851 Relation: Son Father's name: Samuel Mother's name: Elizabeth Gender: Male Where born: Needham Mk, Suffolk, England Civil parish: Minster IN Sheppey Ecclesiastical parish: Sheerness Town: Sheerness County/Island: Kent Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: View image Registration district: Sheppey Sub-registration district: Minster ED, institution, or vessel: 12 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 268 Household Members: Name Age Elizabeth Nun 49 James Nun 15 Louisa Nun 16 Samuel Nun 62 Samuel Nun 10

Yes those are the families.I think Samuel was in Kent in 1851 looking for work but I havn't been able to find him.Eleanor is never seen again.I thought she might have died but I havn't found a record of her death. Heather

Are you sure Eleanor belongs to this family?? Have you got her birth cert?? Marie

could one of these be her?? Surname First name(s) Age District Vol Page -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deaths Sep 1849 (>99%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nunn Ellen Bosmere &c 12 285 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deaths Dec 1849 (>99%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NUNN Ellen Bosmere &c 12 235

Yes I sent for her birth certificate so I'm sure she existed .I've even looked for Munn,Nun,Nuns and Nunz.It's amazing the no of ways its been misspelled. Heather

Could be I'll try them. Can someone look at the1851 census for an Eleanor Nunn in Cambridgeshire?I've got a subscription at findmypast but they havn't got the 1851 census.I found an Elener Nunn in 1861 at Bury St-Edmunds but don't know if this is her. Heather
