Hi I am trying to find Ira Baggaley on the 1901 census. I have found his wife with some of his children and she is shown as still being married which I know is accurate as Ira did not die untill 1927. I have found him on all the other census - with various spellings of both his first and surnames but in 1901 I cant find him. Can anyone here help with finding him. Ira Baggaley was born in 1850 in Caythorpe, Nottinghamshire. They continued to live in Nottingham and this is where he died in 1927. On the 1891 census they were living in the St Mary's parish of Nottingham South East. Ira is shown as a general labourer which is also what his death certificate shows. Any help on finding out where Ira was in 1901 would be great. Thanks Karen

1891 just for info Name: Ira Baggaley Age: 40 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1851 Relation: Head Spouses's Name: S Gender: Male Where Born: Caythorpe, Nottinghamshire, England Civil parish: St Mary Ecclesiastical parish: St John County/Island: Nottinghamshire Country: England Registration district: Nottingham Sub registration district: Nottingham South East ED, institution, or vessel: 8 Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age G Baggaley 15 - George Ira Baggaley 40 J Baggaley 17 - John M A Baggaley 18 - Mary Ann R Baggaley 8 S Baggaley 37 - Sarah Source Citation: Class: RG12; Piece: 2701; Folio 118; Page 19; GSU roll: 6097811 On 1881 there is also Elizabeth Ellen with no age

I can't find him either. There are only a handful of Ira's in the whole of England born in 1850 +/- 1, and the same for *anyone* born in Caythorpe for the same range. Could he have been in hospital or another institution that night? Many institutions only recorded initials.

1901 Sarah is listed as Head Children with her are Arthur 10, George 25 and Richard 18 Have you managed to find out about John, Mary Ann and Elizabeth Ellen? There is a John on 1901 with wife Annie ? Maureen

Possible marriage for Mary Ann Name: Mary Ann Baggaley Year of Registration: 1893 Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun District: Nottingham County: Nottinghamshire Volume: 7b Page: 631 Thomas Ball or Alfred Newton Was just wondering if Ira is with Mary Ann but mistranscribed Maureen Update Possibly married Thomas Ball but no one in household old enough to be father

Usually if the woman is listed as head, she is single or widowed. The only time I have seen a woman as head where the status is M (married), was for my 2x great greandmother, her husband was working abroad for 15 years.

Hi I have managed to find the other Children, John - Mary Ann who married Alfred Newton and Elizabeth Ellen died as a baby its only Ira who seems to have disappeared. Is there a chance he was in the Army or something like that? Thanks for help so far Karen

Karen, Thank you for the update. Maureen
