I would appreciate a look-up in the 1851 and 1861 census in Derbyshire poss Chesterfield area
Robert Dennis b 1825 and his wife Matilda b 1824, both born in Farnsfield, Notts
Children Mary Ann and Eliza
In the index for 1851 they are transcribed as Dennes
In the 1861 index its Dennis but I believe Matilda could be widowed though I can't find a suitable death for Robert
Thanks
SC

And here in 1851 - indexed as Dennes.
1851 census has:
HO107/2147/477/18
Derbyshire, Chesterfield
Address - Holywell Street
Robert Dennes, head, mar, 25, General Labourer
Matilda Dennes, wife, mar, 26, Labourer's wife
Mary Ann Dennes, daur, 5, Scholar
Elizabeth Dennes, daur, 3, Scholar
Eliza Dennes, daur, 1, Labourer's daughter
Henry Freeman, wife's son, 8, Scholar
Henry Fletcher, lodger, unm, 25, General Labourer, Derby Chesterfield
All others shown as being born in Farnsfield Notts
Do you have either of them in 1841 - it looks as if Matilda had either been married previously or had a son out of wedlock.

Hi Nell
Thank you very much for the censuses
You have found a couple more children too
I have Robert in 1841 - he's home with his mother and siblings in Farnsfield
I do not have Matilda - mother is Sarah I believe
I have the exact date of their marriage
I think Henry was b before she married
Thanks
SC

This might be a possible for Matilda - it is the only entry I have found for a Matilda Freeman in Notts.
1841 census has:
HO107/867/12/53/16
Notts, Southwell
Address - King St
Matilda Freeman,18, F. S. Yes
George Bosworth, 21, Bricklayer, Yes
James Simpson, 40, Ag Labourer, Yes
(not living with her parents)
The previous entry is for Thomas Elsam?, 40, Farmer, Yes
and his family of four young children.

Hi again Nell
Thank you for trying to find Matilda - it is possible as she would more than likely be a servant at that age
Now I will continue my research on the children
I know Eliza married Joshua Stafford
Mary Ann I believe married Christopher Preston
Emma is a servant in Chesterfield in 1881
Have not found the others or mother Matilda
Thanks very much for your help

Could anyone please see if Matilda is around in 1871 possibly remarried??
On the 1871 index in Derbyshire a Louisa Dennis of correct age is showing with mother Matilda but there is also another parent name there and it's not a Robert
Have not found another marriage for Matilda yet and this might help
Louisa gets married in 1872 - they are all very young when they get married
Thanks
SC

Hi Nell
Thank you very much for that census - I guess my hunch was right that she might marry again having a couple of young children still at home
Eliza's dau is an Ann Stafford
Many thanks
