I am trying to track down the family of an Arthur John Harper born about 1854, Ewen Gloucestershire.
No matter how I try, I just cant get anywhere trying to find them. Any tips?

Hi
If you send for his birth certificate from the GRO http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/
this will give parents names.
Free BMD, http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl has
Arthur John Harper December qtr. 1853 Cirencester vol. 6a page 276
Have you found him in the 1861 census?
Regards
Susan

Hi
This looks like them in 1861 census
RG9/1771 folio 46 page 14
Hamwell Lane, Stonehouse
Abraham Harper Head Mar. 34 Carpenter Gloucestershire Stroud
Maria Harper Wife Mar. 34 - Wilts. Kemble
Eliza Harper Daur. - 11 - Wilts. Kemble
Arthur J. Harper Son - 8 - Wilts. Kemble
Edward W. Harper Son - 6 - Wilts. Kemble
John Harper Son - 2 - Wilts. Kemble
Sending for the birth certificate of Arthur will confirm this is the correct family.
Regards
Susan

Thanks for that! But when I searched ancestry, all I found that could have been a match was Handsworth, Staffordshire. Where did you find that one?

Hi
On Ancestry, one above the Handsworth entry. Perhaps you were looking for Ewen as the birthplace?

Yes I was actually!
Wouldnt the place of birth remain the same on all the census returns?

Not necessarily, all depends on who wrote down what at the time! Perhaps the enumerator "dittoed" mother's place of birth.
Kemble is not too far distant from Ewen, which in turn is about 3 miles from Cirencester the registration district for the area.
Birth certificate would also confirm place.
