My very first thread :-)
Not sure Ancestry was ever updated with the image - does anyone have FMP sub that they could save and mail me the image?

John (Bilston 1850) and Eliza (Dudley 1844) were my great grandparents. In 1881 they were living in Huyton-with-Roby and in 1901 in Newport Monmoutshire.
But try as I might I cannot find them in the 1891 census.
I believe the family in 1891 would have been:
John Cording Bilston 1850
Eliza Cording Dudley 1844
Martha Cording Bilston 1874
John Cording Scotland 1875
Thomas Cording Bilston 1878
Charles Alfred Willenhall/Bilston 1880
Mary Ann Cording Liverpool 1882
Agnes Cording Oakengates Shropshire 1884
Joseph Cording Oakengates 1886
Gertrude Cording Willenhall 1889
There might even be other children - in 1911 census Eliza answered the question about live births as 12 - and I have only 9 (Mary Ann Silvia died in 1880). As far as I am aware they moved to Newport around 1897/8 so I expected to find them in the Wolverhampton area. At the time of Gertrude's birth in April 1889 their address was St Ann's Terrace, Ann Street, Willenhall. I have trawled Willenhall street by street in 1891 to no avail. I have admitted defeat.
Can anyone find them?
