I have been following the Salisbury line of my family tree and have followed my pedigree through from 1840 until 1901 but cannot find them in 1891 cesus Wales.

Wales 1871 Parish of Llandrillo ED 5
Head - John Salisbury 24
Wife - Lois Salisbury 22
Son - John Salisbury 2
Son - William Salisbury 8 months


Wales 1881 Llandrillo Yn Rhos ED 3

Head - John (William) Salisbury 34
Wife - Louis Salisbury 34
Son - John Salisbury 11
Son - Robert Salisbury 6
Son - William Salisbury 10
Brother - William Salisbury 38 (lodger)

Wales 1901 Conway ED 12
Head - William Salisbury 57
Wife - Louisa Salisbury 51
Son - John Salisbury 31
Son - Robert Salisbury 26
Grandson - John D Salisbury 2
Grandaughter - Maude J Salisbury 6

On my g grandmother birth cert she was born in 1903 Mother Louisa father William!!

Somewhere along the line Louisa seems to have swapped husbands, between 1881 and 1901,

I cannot find any reference in 1891, am I going mad!

Did Louisa team up with ......Brother - William Salisbury 38 (lodger)

???

Have you looked for a death of John?

Gerri x

That's my thinking, but can't find any evidence to prove it as have no real dates for marriages or deaths as search is to big and names to common

Very frustrated

Would have said Louisa probably too old to have a child at 54 in 1903.

What about John and Williams occupations?

What was on your ggrandmothers birth cert for Father Williams occupation?

(Pleeeease dont say miner!!!) lol...sorry

Pam

To have a child at 54 was not uncommon.
Also remember the age is 'abt'54

Geri x

Father occupation Hair dresser (journeyman)
although oringinally most of the men through the family were wait for it.....
Stone Mason's
Robert in the 1901 census has occupation barber though.

No she is definately down as the mother, 54's not un reasonable in those days!

If I get a copy of the death cert will it give details of who registered the death, I havn't obtained one yet so don't know what they have on them.

Pam

Louisa's maiden name was Jones!! Sorry
Maiden name Louisa Penelope Jones

Yes Susie it will tell you who reg the death also cause of death.

I wish you luck

Gerri x

Jones? OMG it gets worse!!!!

You need LOTS of luck!...lol

A maybe?

Marriages Dec 1896 (>99%)

JONES Louisa Conway 11b 918
Parry Jane Conway 11b 918
Price John Conway 11b 918
SALISBURY William Conway 11b 918

Conway is an alternative name for Conway and it spans the boundaries of the counties of Caernarvonshire and Denbighshire

That looks promising, can I just ask how you did tthat so quickly, how do you get both the names as when you do a search early on it does not give spouses name so surely you ave to do 2 individual searches with no real starting date ?

Susie....this is a secret so dont tell anyone OK?

go to FreeBMD...

click on search...

highlight 'Marriage'....

put his and her surnames and maybe Christian name....


Bobs ya Uncle!

;-) ssshhhhhh

I might be an old codger but i have me uses! lol

Hi Susie
Have you found the William (8 months on the 1871 census) in the 1901 census? He would be more about the right age to be your g grandmotherer's father. Perhaps the marriage Still looking found is his, and he also married a Louisa.

Jackie

2 April was census night in 1871.

So William 8 months would have been born abt August 1870?

Jackie

William 8 mths in 1871 is son of Lois so can't be married to her as she's his mother , does that make sense, spelling differences through the census's changes her name from lois in 1871 to louis in 1881 to louisa in 1901.

all very confusing as ther are lots of william's and johns through all the family lines in those census

Well spotted Jackie!
So easy to get side tracked.

Susie

When you buy a Marriage cert, NEVER dissmiss the witnesses...
Fingers crossed for you.
This could be expensive! £7 per cert!

Gerri x

Well a bit to check through but time for bed now have been working on this for 5 days solid, will have to bite the buit and buy some certs.

Will check in tomorrow to see if there is anymore advise,

Thanks all 4 now
