I have this family on the 1871 census: 1871 England Census about Jephe Wells Name: Jephe Wells Age: 9 Estimated birth year: abt 1862 Relation: Son Father's name: John Mother's name: Eliza Gender: Male Where born: Knighton, Leicestershire, England Civil parish: Knighton Ecclesiastical parish: Peterborough Town: Knighton County/Island: Leicestershire Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Disability: View image Registration district: Blaby Sub-registration district: Wigston ED, institution, or vessel: 8 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 147 Household Members: Name Age Charles Wells 6 Clara Wells 13 Eliza Wells 40 Eliza Wells 11 Jephe Wells 9 John Wells 38 John H Wells 3 Sarah A Wells 18 After cross referencing the image with the birth reg, I can be sure that the name Jephe should be Jesse. I can not find this Jesse Wells on any other census or find a death record for him that fits. Any help would be great as this Jesse if proven alive could be the person I'm looking for concerning a family story. Vicky X

Have you found any other family members in 1881? Reg

Have you searched the full death indexes or just freebmd? Ozi.

Hi, Charles and John are living at home, Jane and Eliza are servants in the same house and I am am in the process of looking for the rest (women so harder to find if married). I have searched Ancestry for Deaths, Thanks for looking Vicky

Yes, I've found his birth reg in 4th q 1861, so more or less right. Vicky X

Have you found his birth? Perhaps his dob is wrong on 1871. Ozi. Update - is this him? Births Dec 1861 Wells Jesse Blaby 7a 32

Yes Ozi, that is who I think it is. Vicky X
