Hello,
Can anyone help me with this one? Adolphus Alexandra Wise Filcher is mentioned in the 1881 census return;
Adolphus Filcher 26
Elizabeth Filcher 26
Marther Filcher 2
and is a gardner at stockton brook house.
My problem is that I cannot find him anywhere else. He seems invisible in other census returns.
There seem a few Filchers around the area but cannot seem to tie him in to any.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Pat

Found him in 1871:
RG10/2857/23/39
4 Wellington St, Hanley, Staffs
James SIMPSON - Head - 46 - [...] Maker - Burslem, Staffs
Elizabeth SIMPSON - Wife - 51 - Dressmaker - Hanley, Staffs
Frederick SNELL - Son - 23 - China [...] - Hanley
Augustus FILCHER - Son - 19 - Potter's (?)Runman - Hanley
Laura FILCHER - Dau - 17 - Potter's Painter - Hanley
Adolphus FICHER - Son - 15 - Potter's [...] - Burslem
(Sorry, I can't read all the occupations!)
This looks confusing, but it turns out that Elizabeth was married several times! She was already a widow when she married Adolphus' father:
Marriages Mar 1851
FILCHER George Wise
SNELL Elizabeth
Stoke on Trent 17 235
(Staffordshire BMD gives the church as Shelton, St Mark.)
1851 census
HO107/2005/350/21
Marsh St, Stoke on Trent
George W FILCHER - Head - 41 - Publican - Shelton
Elizabeth FILCHER - Wife - 31 - Shelton
George SNELL - Stepson - 8 - Scholar - Shelton
Elizabeth SNELL - Stepdau - 4 - Scholar - Shelton
Frederick SNELL - Stepson - 3 - Scholar - Shelton
Elizabeth SNELL - Lodger - Unm - 65 - Leicester
Margaret POOLE - Servant - 18 - Broseley, Shrops
Here are Ernest and Laura's births:
Births Mar 1852
FILCHER Ernest Augustus William
Stoke 6b 140
Births Dec 1853
FILCHER Laura Amelia Wise
Stoke on Trent 6b 117
George then died before the 1861 census:
Deaths Dec 1855
FILCHER George Wise
Stoke T. 6b 86
Elizabeth married again...
Marriages Sep 1856
BOOTH Thomas
FILCHER Elizabeth
Stoke on Trent 6b 233
However, Thomas seems to have died before 1861:
RG9/1932/15/23
Bucknall Rd, Hanley, Staffs
Elizabeth BOOTH - Head - 40 - House Keeper - Hanley
James SIMPSON - Lodger - 36 - Potter - Hanley
George SNELL - Son - 18 - Potter - Hanley
Frederick SNELL - Son - 14 - Potter - Hanley
Elizabeth SNELL - Dau - Paintress - Hanley
Ernest FILCHER - Son - 9 - Scholar - Hanley
Mary FILCHER - Dau - 7 - Scholar - Hanley
John FILCHER - Son - 4 - Scholar - Hanley
(Laura and Adolphus seem to have changed into Mary and John...  )
Elizabeth then married the lodger!
Marriages Mar 1869
BOOTH Elizabeth
SIMPSON James
Stoke T 6b 286
Hope this makes sense.....
