Hi
Please could anyone help. I am searching for John Henry Hawley dob 1.5.1869 Sheffield on 1881 census with no success.
His mother is Elizabeth Hawley and father Joseph Hawley. I have found John Hy Hawley aged 21 living with his widowed mother Elizabeth age 52 and a boarder on the 1891 census living at Shoreham Street, Sheffield but have drawn a blank on the 1881 census. I do not have a date of death for Joseph (his father) at this time so he may or may not be on the census. If anyone could also help re Josephs death that would be a huge help too.
Any help would be very gratefully received
Thanks Sarah

Thank you everyone for your help. The 1881 census above doesn't seem to tie in with either 1871 and 1891 with the ages of Joseph, Elizabeth (Eliza?) and Mary and none of the other children show on 1891. Would anyone be kind enough to advise which would be the best route forward on this.
Thank you all again

Thank you ArgyllGran I hadn't thought to search for this other family in previous census to discount them. Back to drawing board re the 1881 census then.
Thank you AnnCardiff for your posts - I have John Henrys marriage to Annie Marie Downes in 1901 and his birth certificate showing Joseph and Elizabeth as his parents but can't seem to find a trace of them in 1881 so far

ArgyllGran Report 6 Aug 2016 12:16

Wondering about this family - the details seem very similar to the 1871 posted by safc and AnnCardiff.
Can't see them convincingly in other censuses. All born Sheffield.
Elizabeth (jr) in 1871 might be Annie E in 1881 ??:

John H. Holey
in the 1881 England Census
Name: John H. Holey
Age: 11
Estimated birth year: abt 1870
Relationship to Head: Son
Mother: Elizebeth Holey
Gender: Male
Where born: Sheffield, Yorkshire, England
Civil Parish: Ecclesall Bierlow
County/Island: Yorkshire
Country: England
Street address: 59 Sheldon St.
Occupation: Scholar
Registration district: Ecclesall Bierlow
ED, institution, or vessel: 39
Neighbors: View others on page
Piece: 4636
Folio: 114
Page Number: 54
Household Members:
Name Age
Elizebeth Holey 42
Annie E. Holey 17 - stay busk fitter
Mary A. Holey 16 - stay busk maker
Joseph Holey 15 - table knife buffer
John H. Holey 11 - scholar
Emily Holey 10 - ditto
James Hibberd 35 - boarder


Re stay busks, for interest:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busk


Possible births of children:

Births Sep 1862 (>99%)
HAWLEY Annie Elizabeth Sheffield 9c 339

There are several Mary Ann Hawley births around 1863 - 4.

Births Jun 1865 (>99%)
Hawley Joseph Sheffield 9c 334

Births Jun 1869 (>99%)
HAWLEY John Henry Sheffield 9c 361

Two possibilities for Emily:
Births Dec 1870 (>99%)
Hawley Emily Sheffield 9c 373
Births Mar 1871 (>99%)
Hawley Emily Sheffield 9c 391

NOTE:
I know there are also these births - but no Holey births matching the other children:
Births Dec 1871 (>99%)
Holey John Henry Sheffield 9c 387

Births Sep 1872 (>99%)
Holey Emily Sheffield 9c 378


Can't see a birth for Martha (in 1871 census) - I wonder if she's Emily?

Thanks again ArgyllGran, that's fantastic! I think this is more than likely them as the boarder James Hibberd is also on the 1891 census with John Henry and Elizabeth and that would seem like a big coincidence.
Thank you to everyone for your help
