Hi can someone please look for me :- Richard Ackland and his wife Mary both born in Devon. On the 1881 they were living at 1 Lynes Court St Philip&Jacob in Bristol with their daughter Mary Jane. So they should still be in Bristol in 1891.Many thanks. Jill

Jillian found the following living at Corff? Green Braunton Devon Richard Ackland aged 50 born Braunton Devon Shepherd Mary Ackland wife aged 43 born Hearnton? Frederick G son aged 3 born Braunton Mary Lilian? aged 10 mths born Braunton could not find any Acklands living in Bristol but havent checked any other spelling but will do so if you wish hevi

I may be being a bit dim here, but was unable to find them on the 1881 census as well, based on the information Jill provided. A.

Thanks Hevi Sorry this isn't them.They are hard to find. Andrew I did find them on the 1881 census I have copied it out for my file I did this quite a few months ago Richard Ackland. Head M Male 54 Great Torrington Porter Mary A.Ackland. Wife M Female 53 Devonport Mary Jane Ackland Daur U Female 20 Plymouth Dwelling 1 Lynes Court Bristol. I know they existed because I have the marriage cert for Mary Jane in 1882 to my GGrandfather.I still can't find her birth for abt.1861 or anything on her parents. HELP. thanks Jill

Jill, Thanks, I see them now. Not sure what was going on there... Can't see any Richard Acklands on the 1891 census. The nearest I can find to his wife, Mary is the following: * Mary Ackland, Visitor, Widow, 60, Needlewoman, Salop Living at "The Engineers Arms", 15 Lincoln Street, St Philip & Jacob Out, Bristol She's visiting a couple called Robert & Amelia Hornsford. The Parish matches but the bad news is that a birth place of Shropshire hardly matches with Devonport.

Andrew sorry only just seen you message, yes it is a pity about the place of birth for a minute I thought you found her thanks for trying. Jill
