Thanks for that fiona Id not thought to look for marriages of their children and you are right it does suggest that they were in the area, but why cant they be found! Sharmala.

A possible for daughter Susannah in 1871 which might suggest they were still in that area.

Thanks margaret for looking, was hoping i was just not looking properly, it does seem like they just dissapeared without trace between 1851 and 1891 typical. oh well maybe they just didnt want to be found!. Thanks Sharmala.

I have searched and searched for them, Sharmala. on all of the censuses, using first names only, last names only etc. I don't know how they can be missing from all of them, but they are! Margaret

Hello Could i please ask for any help again to trace this family in the 1841, 61, 71, and 81 census please?? its driving me mad! no worries if you cant, but sometimes a fresh pair of eyes can really help. Thanks Sharmala.
