I thought that seemed strange for Orpah on the 1881 Census ....Barrister in Law not in Practice???

It's been crossed out as it was the occupation for the head of the next family!

Looking at the original I think that this is the male name missing from 2a 64:

COLLINS Walter G Guildford 2a 61

Just wonder if she could have married someone called Parkes but I can't find a marriage for them?

Name: Orpah Parkes
Estimated birth year: abt 1845
Year of Registration: 1869
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
Age at Death: 24
District: Brighton
County: Sussex, East Sussex
Volume: 2b
Page: 141

There is a marriage in Guildford Sept 1866 for an Orpah Clark but again there are only 3 names!

Hi Lorraine. The Orpha married to William is shown on 1881 census as being born inj Brutton. Somerset.
Dont think this one connects.

I have looked on the Ancestry and others and like you cannot find her on other census records as yet but wil keep looking. Ethel.

hi jonesey

many thanks at least it rules that one out i will keep trying
thanks again lorraine

Jonesey Report 21 Jul 2010 17:32

The 1921 marriage is to a Betty Clark. The reason that you could not find her was because the page number had been incorrectly transcribed:

Clark Betty Black Grimsby 7a 1545

Black William C Clark Grimsby 7a 1454
