Hi there,

Can anyone spot these people in the census?


My distant aunt Martha Ferris was born in 1869 in Saintfield, County Down to William Ferris, a farmer.

Is this her?

I see nothing in 1891 or 1901? Although this was the day of the census in 1891.

I don't see them either but both FreeBMD and Lancs BMD have the surname as DURWARD.

Thank you Maureen. Well if that is her, not sure she is my relative as she was born in Ireland. This looks like the bride in the marriage:
