Hi Just done some more searching - I think the Ernest James Atkins born in Chelsea in 1876 is not the right one. On the 1881 census there is a James Atkins born Chelsea 1876 living in Middlesex with John and Jane. The census info for 1881 in Plymouth is right but I just can't seem to find James birth around 1874 in Chelsea or possible death from 1881 to 1891. Feel like pulling my hair out !!!! lol |

I saw the WIlliam Ernest and Ernest William on the 1881 and 1891. William Ernest was born in Jan 1880, I have his birth certificate, and James' is his brother. I am only thinking James was still alive in 1891 and 1901 as I can find no record of death - he seemed to get to 7 in 1881 and then vanished by 1891 and 1901 - maybe he is dead but I just wanted to make sure. I believe James' birth ref is Chelsea Apr,May,Jun 1876 1a p274 I know WIlliam is missing from the 1901 census as he was in South Africa fighting the Boer War - that confused me for months !!!! |

Just to confuse matters On the 1881 census there is a brother Ernest W Atkins b1880 but is then on 1891 census as William Ernest. So is James really Ernest James ? Do you have a birth certificate or marriage certificate. Maureen |

Before we start looking, have you reason to think that he would have been alive in 1891 and 1901? Reg |

Hi I have been searching for a James Atkins b.1874 in Chelsea. Possibly shows up as Ernest James Atkins. He shows up in the 1881 census as being 7 and living at 56 Richmond St, Plymouth. However in the 1891 census I can't find him as he is no longer at that address with his family and seems to have vanished. Just wondered if anyone can so a census look up for me and possibly find if he was anywhere else in 1891 and 1901. Thanks Anthony |
