Greeting's again Sarah...... Sorry my slip up the 1861 census return was in fact for Barwell.and NOT Earl Shilton..I've amended last message.... William Jnr aged 5 ....Umm...... Pass ..lol Is this the one which he took Game keeping with in Derbyshire ?.... If you click on my name and send me your E-mail address then I can send you the Scan from the original Census return, so you will see it states Grandson of William Head of Household. In the meantime I'll whizz around my disks to see what I can come up with .... MIKE. PS. Sorry Choc's are OFF the menu.....:0(

Mike, thanks for all you have done, I have moved on loads because of it. Problem though! The 1861 shows Daniel Staniforth as a widow. (RG 9 / 2264 / Page. 33. Earl Shilton) I didn't know he had previously married! And who is the William, is it his?? His son William (my gt grandad) was born in 1868, so this either wasn't his son, or more likely with my lot had died by 1868 (they did enjoy naming more than one the same name). I have found a poss first marriage for Daniel in 1852, to either an Elizabeth or Emma. Could you check your burials to see if an Elizabeth or Emma Staniforth died between 1852 and 1861??? The 1852 marriage was in Market Bosworth. Sorry to be a pain, and I owe you the biggest box of chocs ever!! Sarah

Greeting's Again Beverley.... I have sent you a scan of the original Census return via your E-mail address...... So you can try and work it out from that .... There is three surnames in the household Collman, Page and Hadden. Plus I may have mis understood the Jane seeing that there was a sister to William Named ' Eliza Jane' of the right age and was thinking she used her middle name on later Census and that was the Jane you were seeking ....Sorry.... MIKE. Sarah... Just to say I've amended the 1861. Census return Forgot to put in that Sarah was a Sister-in-Law to Enoch Brown....sorry

Hi Mike I have now got Daniel Staniforths son Williams birth cert, and know that Daniel was married to SARAH HENDERSON. I am now stuck on her! I have tried the free sites looking for both a birth and marriage, but nothing so am now looking up 1837. I was wondering if you could check out the 1851/61 census records you have?? I know from later census and death info that she was born about 1840 in Earl Shilton/Barwell. They had the first child in 1863, so I am hoping she was still unmarried in 1861, if not she will be Sarah Staniforth (and I will get an idea of which parts of 1837 to check for the marriage). Thankyou lots! Sarah
