Can anyone help with a look-up for Alice Poole born 2.6.1869 in Sheffield. I cannot find her on Morman 1881 census. Other siblings in family would help also. Thank you.

Have you got the names of Alice's parents or siblings? Or is that a silly question as that is what you are hoping to find?

this possible mistranscription: Edward ROOME Head M Male 32 Derby, Derby, England Table Knife Forger Mary Anne ROOME Wife M Female 28 Sheffield, York, England Alice ROOME Daur U Female 12 Sheffield, York, England Mary Ann ROOME Daur Female 9 Sheffield, York, England Elizabeth ROOME Daur Female 6 Sheffield, York, England Edward ROOME Son Male 4 Sheffield, York, England Emma ROOME Daur Female 1 Sheffield, York, England -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Source Information: Dwelling Arundel St 4 Ct 11 Census Place Sheffield, York, England

Nudge. Definately Poole. Father Charles, Mother Ann. Charles had died by 1887 when Alice married.

This was the only Alice with parents Charles and Anne that the 1881 threw up: Charles F. POOLE Head M Male 41 Swansea, Glamorgan, Wales Switchman On Railway (Pts Man) Anne POOLE Wife M Female 36 Bargoed, Glamorgan, Wales Mary A. POOLE Dau U Female 14 Bargoed, Glamorgan, Wales Scholar Alice Jane POOLE Dau U Female 10 Maesycymwr, Monmouth, England Scholar Mena E. POOLE Dau U Female 5 Mountain Ash, Glamorgan, Wales Scholar Charles F. POOLE Son U Male 1 Penydarren, Glamorgan, Wales William G. POOLE Son U Male 1 m Penydarren, Glamorgan, Wales -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Source Information: Dwelling 40 Church Street Census Place Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorgan, Wales There was a second one with father Charles, but mother in that case was Alice. They were in London. Jan.

Thanks for that Jan, but I know they were living in Sheffield not Wales at the time. They seemed to have gone walkabout on night of census. Alice who was my grandmother, was 12 years old in 1881, born 1869 Sheffield.

Could this be her?

Or even a mistranscription? Jan.

Thank you Jan, Alice was born in Sheffield, I am not sure where Kelfield? is. Am I right in thinking that Kelfield on the census is the birthplace? I have just been onto Familyhistoryonline and she isn't showing up on that either!!! It is her parents I am after really and I thought she might lead me to them on census night. Can't find father or mother on that site. Brickwall again!! Thank you anyway. Margaret

Kelfield is on the north-east bank of the River Ouse, on the road between Cawood and Riccall, north of Selby (NGR SE 595 384). Rather a long way, and quite inaccessible from Sheffield, but not impossible. Unfortunately the employer might guess the place of birth or age, or might even have been given wrong information. Stan

This is the only Ann Poole/Charles Poole combination I could find in the 1881: Charles POOLE Head M Male 33 Bradford, York, England Wool Drier (Stuff) Ann POOLE Wife M Female 34 Bradford, York, England Sam POOLE Son Male 5 Bradford, York, England Scholar Harry POOLE Son Male 3 Bradford, York, England Esther POOLE Daur Female 1 Bradford, York, England -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Source Information: Dwelling 36 Rooley Lane Census Place Bowling, York, England Jan

Thank you everyone who has left messages. Still no nearer to my Alice Poole. I am wondering now if both parents had died by 1881!!!!! The joys!! Margaret

I too am looking for an 1881 look up possibly in Sheffield.. Can anyone find a Frederick Hague aged about 5 or 6 with a Father named Walter Hague. I am really stuck. Thanks to all who can help. Fiona Howe

Fiona, this one b at Stocksbridge which is very close to Sheffield: Caroline HAIGH Head M Female 44 Bradford, York, England Dressmaker M...
