I'm trying to find a relative who was on the census in 1881 aged 4 with his parents and siblings. But in 1891 (aged 14) he was not there but his parents and siblings were. He is on the 1901 with his own family. His name is Harry Chetwood Salisbury who was born in 1887 on the Wirral, Cheshire. Thanks Nicola

Do you not mean he was born 1877, not 1887? It would help if you gave us the name of his parents and siblings, also where they were in 1881. Jennifer I stand corrected Reg.

He could have been in hospital - that's where one of my elusive ancestors was

Presumably you mean born 1877? Reg

Is this the right one in 1881? It is important to give actual birthplaces............they are vital search tools Name: Harry Salisbury Age: 4 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1877 Relation: Son Father's name: Frederick Mother's name: Annie Gender: Male Where Born: Tranmere, Cheshire, England Civil parish: Tranmere County/Island: Cheshire Country: England Street address: 42 Cobden St Education: Registration district: Birkenhead Sub registration district: Tranmere ED, institution, or vessel: 9 Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Annie Salisbury 28 b.

Jennifer........I'm puzzled????? Reg

By what ? Reg. Jennifer

Your little addendum............. Reg

I had gone too far the other way and put 1867, I thought you had picked that up, I then ammended the date. It seems that this is another case of the poster posting, then going off and leaving us with unanswered question. Jennifer

Hi Reg, Thanks, I did my 1877, and you have picked up the right Harry. How would you find if they were in hospital? Nicola

Kris Which site did you use for looking up the census for hospitals? Nicola
