Am I Missing Something

Hi

I've been advised by someone who is connected to me that she has found my ancestors on the 1861 census - I have looked and looked but can't see the record...
Joseph Jones born 1851 (Wednesbury Staffordshire) with his parents Henry 1799 and Eliza 1814 living at South Road - not sure where that is.
Also can't find him on 1871 census but presume he stayed in the same area for bot those census as he married Ellen Williams 25/2/1872 West Bromwich
Please can anybody help with 1861/71.

Thanks

Julie

Hi Julie, I believe that your Henry Jones died between the 51 and 61 census. On the 1861 census Eliza is living alone on Walsale St., Wedenesbury. She's a widow aged 45, born Wednesbury. Your Joseph is working as a servant, a groom in the home of Thomas Jones in West Bromwich. It's hard to tell if his age is 10 or 14 but he was born Wednesbury, so I think it's him. Still looking for 1841. Margaret

(google brings above 'Thread', if any use)

Trying to find the rest of the family, in 1861 there are two Prudences of the right age and POB; one is married to a James Bartram and there is a marriage for James Bartram to a Prudence Gilbert. Could this be Prudence and her mother in 1841 (there is quite an age difference between Henry & Eliza in the 1851, also between the children):

Name:Prudence Gilbert
Age:3
Estimated Birth Year:abt 1838
Where born:Staffordshire, England
Civil Parish:Wednesbury

Eliza Gilbert 25
Prudence Gilbert 3
Ann Gilbert

There is possible marriage for Henry/Eliza Gilbert but it is Dec 1851 so after the census.
