Susie, Do you know his wife's name ? Not Mary Tarlington by any chance ? Rick.

In some of my families, on census night I've found missing children at their grandparents or with other relatives, whether permanently or just 'sleeping-over' I don't know. Try doing an independant search for the missing child in some of the local addresses. Mine have all been either in the same road or in the next road back-to-back as it were! Good luck.

rick his wife was elizabeth(gawd knows what)!! im really stuck .because i dont know her surname it makes things harder on 1891 and1901 census she says she is born oldbury staffs but on the 1881 its oldbury worcestershire!!! i do wish they would get their facts right lol helen i'll have a look at the glouc 1861 again and see if hes with rellies thankyou for your help susie

rick thanx ever so much i had seen them ones but didnt know if in them days they had to get married in the wifes parish of birth by the way,you dont happen to know if oldbury is in staffs or worcs do you lol,because elizabeth thingy didnt susie

Susie Think I read somewhere that Oldbury was in Shropshire in the 1841 census Heather

Susie, I'd vote for Staffs, but it's not uncommon for county boundaries & names to change. I should know as I live in Bristol and that's been in Somerset, Gloucestershire and Avon and is now a Citt & County in its own right ! Rick.

heather dont do this to me please!!! lol so thats 3 counties ive now got to try and find her in...when i find out her surname that is:( anyone got a valium!!!!! rick right so i'll try and find her then first thanks:):) susie

Hi Elizabeth Harris married Albert Smith film 1541946 Married 30/04/1873 Great Grimsby Lincolnshire. Husbands father Charles Smith. From B.V.R index. Mary

Susie Think you will need a birth certificate of one of the children to find her name. I thought Oldbury was in Worcestershire but for the 1851 census it was in Staffs. My great-gran was from there too. Heather

mary thanks for looking,but alberts dad was thomas from uley gloucs heather i think your right,i'll have to raid hubbys pockets lol susie

val your an angel!!!! i could hug you. its strange but i never thought to look at the neighbours on the 1881,,,durrrrrrr...lol i'll go check it now hugggg susie
