see below: BUMPING THIS IN CASE ANYONE CAN FIND HIM IN 1901... Sarah :-)

I have a family on 1881 but I just can't find them on 1891 or 1901. I've tried all the names as searches... If anyone can get them (& share the secret of how they did it) I'd be eternally grateful... 1881 Harriet Baker abt 1851 Buxton, Norfolk, England Wife Aylsham Norfolk >>>Miles A. Baker abt 1852 Holt, Norfolk, England Head Aylsham Norfolk VETERINARY SURGEON & INNKEEPER Miles C. Baker abt 1879 Aylsham, Norfolk, England Son Aylsham Norfolk Susie J. Baker Aylsham, Norfolk, England Daughter Aylsham Norfolk They were living at the Lion Inn, Aylsham in 1881. They should have daughters Ethel b1884 and Mabel Harriet b1889 with them on 1891 who were both born Wisbech. (This is someone else's info that I'm trying to prove.) Sarah :-)

1891 Mary Ely Allen abt 1876 West Walton, Norfolk, England Servant Wisbech St Peter Cambridgeshire Ethel Balay abt 1885 Walpole, Norfolk, England Daughter Wisbech St Peter Cambridgeshire Harriett Balay abt 1851 Buxton, Norfolk, England Wife Wisbech St Peter Cambridgeshire Mabel Harriett Balay abt 1884 Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, England Daughter Wisbech St Peter Cambridgeshire Miles Augustus Balay abt 1832 Holt, Norfolk, England Head Wisbech St Peter Cambridgeshire Miles Charles Balay abt 1880 Aylsham, Norfolk, England Son Wisbech St Peter Cambridgeshire Susie Jane Balay abt 1881 Aylsham, Norfolk, England Daughter Wisbech St Peter Cambridgeshire address ( looks like ) 34 old market - and he is a vet

1891 Ethel Balay abt 1885 Walpole, Norfolk, England Daughter Wisbech St Peter Cambridgeshire Harriett Balay abt 1851 Buxton, Norfolk, England Wife Wisbech St Peter Cambridgeshire Mabel Harriett Balay abt 1884 Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, England Daughter Wisbech St Peter Cambridgeshire Miles Augustus Balay abt 1832 Holt, Norfolk, England Head Wisbech St Peter Cambridgeshire Miles Charles Balay abt 1880 Aylsham, Norfolk, England Son Wisbech St Peter Cambridgeshire Susie Jane Balay abt 1881 Aylsham, Norfolk, England Daughter Wisbech St Peter Cambridgeshire

Aren't you WONDERFUL??!! Eternal Thanks! What was the trick??? Balay > Baker ??? Sarah :-)))

Sarah, the secret is to search with the least common Christian name, no surname, and the place and date of birth. I searched for the son Miles, and found the same as the others. The image clearly shows Baker for the surname.

Cannot find them in 1901

no, nor can I!

Now that's interesting because I thought I'd found Mabel with her aunt in 1901. Her aunt Susie is a boarding house keeper - Girls High School at Stoneford Avenue, Lincoln. Name: Susie F Baker Age: 48 Estimated birth year: abt 1853 Relation: Head Where born: Holt, Norfolk, England Civil parish: St Nicholas Ecclesiastical parish: St Nicholas and St John County/Island: Lincolnshire Country: England Source information: RG13/3063 Registration district: Lincoln Sub-registration district: Lincoln Home ED, institution, or vessel: 39 Folio: 173 Page: 51 Household schedule number: 341 Mabel J Baker Age: 19 Estimated birth year: abt 1882 Relation: Niece Where born: Holt, Norfolk, England Adelaide M Baker Age: 16 Estimated birth year: abt 1885 Where born: Holt, Norfolk, England

at a guess i'd say they stuck round Wisbech .... Susie Jane Baker 1910 Jan-Feb-Mar Wisbech Cambridgeshire, Norfolk William Harrison Lynn 1910 Jan-Feb-Mar Wisbech Cambridgeshire, Norfolk

Marriages Dec 1901 >>Baker Miles Charles Wisbech 3b 1340 BROWNLOW Elizabeth Wisbech 3b 1340 BUTCHER Matthew Wisbech 3b 1340 JOHNSON Bertha Ann Wisbech 3b 1340

I saw that on my travels around Ancestry too Paul (not sure which brother that susie was married to though - ) According to my source Miles Augustus didn't die until 1915 so he should be around somewhere... I didn't think of leaving out the surname (I mean, what could you do wrong when transcribing Baker???? - quite a bit obviously!!) Mabel & Adelaide, the neices in 1901 were the vet's brother's daughters... Thanks for all your help (& the marriage refs) Sarah :-)

I had a go, found the same record Paul did but nothing more.

Thanks Michael, Just had a thought, maybe he emigrated.... anyone got 'world memberhip' to ancestry??? Sarah :-)

sending for either of the marriage certs for his children might provide some clues. see who the witneses were ( maybe he was, maybe he wasn't etc)

Good idea Jess, with his name I thought I'd find him easily... I guess it'll have to be a cert then (he's a gggg's sibling so I can't really justify it though). Will ponder on this & keep at it until I really am m a d enough to need the cert!! sarah :-)
