Hi All, I have a family on the 1841 census but not sight nor sound of the parents and younger children on the 1851 and onwards. How might I find out if they have emigrated and if so, to where? Thanks Naomi

Naomi you need to give us some names & dates & places of birth. Georgina.

On the 1841 census I have Henry and Theodocia Ayres. Henry b 1806 Berkshire and Theodocia b. 1801 in Berkshire. They have children Henry b1829, George b1831, Maria b1833 Elizabeth b1834, Anne b1836 and Robert b1837. I have found the son Henry b1829 on the 1851 but not any of the others. I cant find them on later cenus' either. Thanks Georgina Naomi
