Sue Report 27 Sep 2012 21:03

I cannot find the above, in 1891 census records, or his two younger children, Henry, 1895, Earith, and Florence May, born 1900, Earith.. He was married to Saran Ann Giles, born 1864 Bluntisham, Hunts.,
Sarah Ann Pledger (nee Giles) appears in 1891 census records with her father John Giles, and :-
Daughter Sarah E Born Bluntisham and
Daughter Beatrice Louisa, born Earith

The family , minus Sarah Ann, who died 1910, appear in 1911 census with added family Henry, 1895, born Earith and
Florence May, 1900, born Earith
Here Alfred is a widower, occupation Gate Keeper G.E.R.

Would appreciate if anyone could help find them, as it is odd they are not together.
Many thanks , sue :-)

Perhaps he is on an overnight train in 1891, and gets missed out?
(In other words, I cannot see him)

Patchem, You could well be right. Good idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At least i have all the children now, which is the most important thing.


Thanks again, Sue
