Elaine thanks for that. Its the chap I am looking for. Thay spelt the name wrong typical. Thanks again.

Correct spellings of place names around Luton: Pepperstock, Kinsbourne Green, Ramridge. Can't think of any coal (or other) mines anywhere in the area. Main industry was hats.

What about this one Kevin Alfred Lockengton abt 1863 Woolwich, Kent, England Son St John the Evangelist London Frederick Lockengton abt 1869 Westr, Middlesex, England Son St John the Evangelist London Henrietta Lockengton abt 1853 Woolwich, Kent, England Daughter St John the Evangelist London Henry Lockengton abt 1820 Dunchurch, Warwickshire, England Head St John the Evangelist London Margaret Lockengton abt 1828 Ireland Wife St John the Evangelist London Henrys occupation labourer but address 5 Ponsoby place- same as 1871

There is another reason why they could be missing. It could be that the pages they were on have gone missing or destroyed at some point over the years. I have a family living at the same address from at least 1871 but iam unable to find them on the 1881census and its the only one I dont have for them. But if there is some one who is very good and finds them somewhere the head of household is Henry Lockington born c1816 and his occupation is Retired Soldier (1871 and 1891 census) living at Ponsonby Place Westminster

Elaine, thanks will try that next time. Merry, thanks! :-)

I've got them in 1861 and 1871. They all change their place of birth to Luton in 1871. I'm still looking. Going to bed soon. If I don't find them I'll check back tomorrow.

possibly mistranscribed -gives us some details and we´ll see what we can find!

I've got someone who was never born on my tree. And he's a direct line. Anything's possible. Do you want to give us the names, dates, etc. Have you got them in 1871 and 1891?

How could you account for an entire family being missing from the 1881 census?? :-s
