can you tell me if i am chasing the right family on the two different census please 1881 census ref rg11/2721 folio 127 page 11 and 1891 census ref rg12/2164 folio 126 page 33 says different wife but could have remarried i suppose thanks in advance sam

What name/age/place are we looking at. Can't use reference numbers on LDS Elly

joseph simcock b 1843 c in norton, staffordshire in 1881 was married and had 4 kids, on 1891 married different woman and none of previous kids but another 3 kids makes me think different family but if it is cant find mine

Have you the right reference for 1891? That looks more like 1851 to me.

sorry going crosseyed ref for 1891 should be rg12/2164 folio 126 page 33 thanxs sam

This looks like the 1891 Joseph in 1881: Household: Name Relation Marital Status Gender Age Birthplace Occupation Disability James SIMCOCK Head M Male 66 Norton, Stafford, England Coal Miner Mary SIMCOCK Wife M Female 66 Hanley, Stafford, England Joseph SIMCOCK Son U Male 36 Norton, Stafford, England Coal Miner Fredk BENNETT Grand Son U Male 15 Burslem, Stafford, England Potter -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Source Information: Dwelling Leek Road Census Place Smallthorne, Stafford, England Family History Library Film 1341656 Public Records Office Reference RG11 Piece / Folio 2736 / 51 Page Number 12

On the basis that he's called a son Joseph, which you usually do for children of first rather than second marriages.

so it isnt mine...you havent come across my joseph have you?? cant find him after 1881..thanxs

I can't view the image, but have you looked at this one, for elimination purposes? Josiah Simcox abt 1841 location, Staffordshire, England Head city Staffordshire (There seem to be lot in 1881 who have vanished by 1891. Death? Migration? Mistranscribed?)

no it isnt him...thanxs 4 looking sam
