Find Ancestors

hi. am looking for mary a thomas ,born bitton bristol, i n 1852,i have her on 1861 census living in st margaret west but cannot find her that.thank you alan long

Who were her parents?

Have you found them in 1871?

Have you checked freebmd for a marriage/death for her?

Perhaps you can post the 1861 census that you found her on? The closest one I can see is this one:

1861 England Census

Although the transcription says that her father is William Mosgrove there's nothing on the original to say that. He is a son-in-law and she is a grandaughter.

Mary has probably married by now....look on freebmd for a marriage in the appropriate district, i.e. Westminster, then cross-refer with 1881 census.

OK, here it is.
Why did you say you didn't know parent's names when you had the 61 census?
