Charles is one of my ancestors. In 1861, and aged 26, he is an agricultural labourer living at Eaton Socon, Hunts. With him are his wife Emma [29, nee Markham] and their children William [4], Emma [2], and George [3 months]. Also there is Sarah Gilliham, a 16-year old lodger employed at a paper factory. Try as I might, I have been unable to find him in either the 1851 census or the 1841. According to the IGI record of his marriage [7 Nov 1856], his father is, or could be, William. Can’t find him either! Does any helpful person out there have any ideas? |

Have you tried looking for Suff. L and S are frequently mistranscribed. |

Wonder if this is your Charles or possibly a cousin? |

Do you have the actual marriage certificate? Maybe she had a double wedding with her sister |

Thanks to help from a similar posting on Family Tree Forum, Charles has now been found in both 1841 and 1851. What's more users of The Genealogist can now find him too, the omissions from there indexing having been corrected. Thanks to all who responded; some of their leads may yet bear fruit. |
