l am quite new to all this but l have found quite a few relatives, however l cannot find the birth for William Hiram Hayes born 1859 in Dudley West Midlands on 1891 census. Married Susannah Caddick December 1880 and died March 1901, fathers name was William Hayes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Where have you looked so far? Are you sure it's not William Henry?

Hi Pauline.You possibly can't find him on the census as he maybe wasn't at home at the time they took the census.They register only the people who are in that house at the time, including visitors,lodgers etc.Have you found an address that includes his wife and any possible children,he could possibly have left that area.Does he have any other relatives in that area.Try and look for a link.Complicated I know and very frustrating!!Keep at it...you'll find him.Let me know how you get on or if you need any help.Helen Anderson- Smith.

Thanks everyone, l already have him on the 1891 census age 32 in Smethwick, civil parish Harborne, county Staffordshire. His wife Susannah age 31 and children Elisha (my grandfather) George, Hiram and William. He is missing on the 1901 census as he died March 1901. It is his registered birth l cannot find, so that l can find who his parents were. l have his marriage cert 04/12/1880 to Susannah Caddick.

well you have his dads name from the marriage cert so you try searching the census on the dads name

No birth registered as William Hiram Hayes from 1858 to 1860 but it was not compulsory then. Or it could be just registered as a male birth with the surname of Hayes. Maureen

Thanks for all your help everyone. l have found a William H Hayes on the 1871 census born Birmingham, Warwickshire, father William, mother Sarah, so this could be a possible!
