I have this family on the 1861 census: 1861 England Census about William Benskin Name: William Benskin Age: 34 Estimated birth year: abt 1827 Relation: Head Spouse's name: Sarah Gender: Male Where born: Sheepshed, Leicestershire, England Civil parish: Loughborough Ecclesiastical parish: All Saints Town: Loughborough County/Island: Leicestershire Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: View image Registration district: Loughborough Sub-registration district: Loughborough ED, institution, or vessel: 17 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 28 Household Members: Name Age Edwin Benskin 9 Emma Benskin 5 Sarah Benskin 37 William Benskin 34 William Benskin 2 Elizabeth Ann Prenskin 7 On the 1871 census, William Benskin Sr, Edwin, and another son Walter (born in 1862) are staying with William's sister and husband, but I can not find the rest of the family on the 1871 census. In 1881 William is on the census with his wife, so I know she didn't die! Any help would be great. Vicky X
