Hi just want to pick any ones brain really.what would you think and do if you could not find any of your family in 1891 census but then they popped up again in 1908. any ideas on this would put a new slant on this puzzle.thanking you very much L(confused)

Presume you mean 1901 but could they have been mistranscribed in the 1891?

hi, no i did a check in the 1881 census because her birth was 1879 and she was 2 then. i have looked in the 1891 when she was 12 but couldn't find her so i looked in the 1901 and couldn't find her there even under the alias's i have for her.then she married in 1908 and again in 1944.i'm baffled. in what way would they have been miss-transcribed please.

Post the names and what you know about birth year or place of birth.
People will take a look for you.

Didnt think of that thanks.....Emma Neeves dob 15/04/1879 Lenham in Wychling
1881 census shows William H at 23 head,Frances at 19 wife Emma at 2 and William I at 2 mnths.After this it doesn't come up,,, in the 1891 census or the 1901 census, cant find any of the family ..any help on this would be apprieciated. I have tried all the family names. in 1919 she married in canterbury the again in 1944 in canterbury. if she changed her name does any one known how i might find out what it could be (shot in the dark!) or if they moved overseas...How would i be able to find out?These are my fathers grandparents side and they have caused no end of trouble with name changes and evasion.thank you.L

Thanks Kate!L

Hi Kath thank you. i have one for 1881 and there is a william on it. at 2 months.i suppose he could have died and then she had more children (francis) that is :)

Kath i wonder if the Henry I was William I as on the 1881 c?

No, William didn't die. Choccy found him staying with an aunt and uncle in the 1891 census.

If William was born in Lenham, then that 'Sanoway' should be Sandway.

I think your William I. Neeves is actually William J. Neeves. I think this is his birth:-

Name: William John Neeves
Year of Registration: 1881
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
District: Hollingbourne
County: Kent
Volume: 2a
Page: 734

and I think this is Henry from the 1891 census:-

Name: Henry James Neeves
Year of Registration: 1883
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
District: Hollingbourne
County: Kent
Volume: 2a
Page: 764

Thanks yes i found that one .L :)

Can't work out how James Alfred Goodwin and Mary are the aunt and uncle.
Mary's name at the marriage seems to be Tritton but this could be a 2nd marriage as she is 55 (age is 60 on the 1891 not 50). She dies in 1896.
Frances was Walters before she married so names aren't matching up.

Ah... that would be why i had some much trouble matching it, i thought the name was waters thanks again for you help all of you your fab! L
