Hi Michelle
hope your feeling better today . John and Ellen semed to stay in Nuneaton area .As i now know from his death he was in Arley ,33 Hilltop which were either farm cottages or mining as thats what family did .i know Mary Flowers the daughter also there .Its just a feeling that John George ,James thomas were in the same area .They would have been in their 40s in 1923 when John died .William i know was in Polesworth 1915 working at the mine but i wonder if he returned there in 1918 when discharged after 3 years in the Army .Both villages are near Nuneaton i think.Also Edden Smith another son was there in 1917 when one of my Aunties was born but did not stay there he went to Nuneaton by about 1922 although he left my gran and went somewhere but no one knows where .He died 1957 in High View Hospital Exhall .Does this help .John and Ellen were in 1901 in Attleborough but nothing after so think they may have gone Polesworth or Arley.

Hi Michelle,

Can you look up a 1841 census record for me please? It concerns a Sarah Perry and her (apparently complicated ) household. She was living in Brewood, Staffs then. If you have the 1851 available too that would be great, but I think that the 1841 is very 'busy'.

Many thanks

Anthony.

Their Parents names are James and Margaret Griffiths, James Died on the 23/02/1935@ the age of 66yrs and Margaret died on the 27/09/1934 @ the age of 60yrs. Edmund died on 27/4/1960 and Evan James died on the 15/11/1963 @ the age of 54,

That is just great! Very many thanks.

In that same area Brewood Staffs, do either Sarah's father Thomas baptised in 1764 or her brother Henry bap. 1795 show up at all? Both were baptised in Brewood, and I think born there too.

Not alot i can help you with now sorry.I think the answer is to wait for the 1911-due i believe next year.
This will show where the Smiths were at this time and will help.You really need Electoral Roll lookup but i don't have access to these.
With only BMD's to work on not easy especially with the surname Smith,
Sorry.
