Hi, Would anybody know why people who I know for a fact existed, would not appear on any of the census's? Thanks in advance Claire

They are probably mistranscribed. Who are you looking for and when were they born? Kath. x

Phyllis Noreen Bream born Mar 1907 in Leicestershire and Ena Muriel Bream born in Dec 1896 in Leicestershire. Thanks Claire

Well, Phyllis was born too late to be on any census available to us at the moment. Eva is possibly mistranscribed. do you know where she OUGHT to be? OC

Thanks for that - I should have realised that she was born too late for the census!! Ena, should be recorded as living with her father Edward, her mother Lucy, her sister Elsie and her brother Shirley. Thanks again Claire

You won't find Phyllis on the census as she was born after 1901. I'll have a look for Ena. Kath. x

This is the family but she's not with them:- Name: Edward S Bream Age: 37 Estimated birth year: abt 1864 Relation: Head Spouse's name: Lucy Father's name: Charles Mother's name: Sarah Gender: Male Where born: Leicestershire, England Civil parish: Leicester Formerly St Margaret Ecclesiastical parish: St Peter County/Island: Leicestershire Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Education: Employment status: View image Registration district: Leicester Sub-registration district: North East Leicester ED, institution, or vessel: 3 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 122 Household Members: Name Age Allan G Bream 9 Charles Bream 66 Edward S Bream 37 Elsie W Bream 13 Lucy Bream 38 Sarah Bream 69 Shirley R Bream 11 Margaret Everton 25 Frances Palmer 18 Are you sure she survived? Or maybe staying with grandparents and transcribed with their name. Do you know Lucy's maiden name? Kath. x

Still can't find Ena. I've tried with just first name, just surname, mother's maiden name, using soundex and still can't find her. Kath. x

Yes, she definately survived - my parents both remember her and she died in her old age. Lucy's maiden name was Biddles. Claire

Would there be any reason for this? Could she be adopted? Claire x

Mind you saying that I did find her birth records! Ena Muriel Bream Dec 1896 - Leicester
