Hi
On the 1861
RG9 / 1839 / 23 / 9
Benjaman Purslow, head, mar, 33, shepherd, Tenbury, Worcestershire.
Elizabeth, wife, mar, 34, Acton Scott, Shropshire.
Sarah E, daur, 10. scholar, Eaton, Shropshire.
Mary A, daur, 7, scholar, Acton Scott, Shropshire.
Clarisa, daur, 4, Dewsall, Herefordshire.
Fanny, daur, 1, Diddlebury, Shropshire.
But no John.
How certain are you that your Grandmother was born in 1877, where did you get that information from? Have you looked for her birth certificate? What is her name?

Hi,
I was trying to find the entry on the 1881 to clarrify Lily's place of birth. the 1891 says Ryton.
I looked in the Sept and Dec quarter for 1877 but there was no Lily Purslow listed.
I'm not sure what to make of it. Could the father John actually have a different surname and the mother be one of the girls from the 1861. Maybe Lily was always told her father was John and he died as a soldier and she assumed he was a Purslow as that was the name she used.
Many questions, but no answers I'm affraid.

Hi,
Have you tried posting for a lookup on Rootschat for the family in the 1851 census? It looks like they may be in Eaton as that is where Sarah is born.
I am wondering if there really was a son, John Purslow and he was not with the family group in 1861, he may show in 1851.
I rechecked the indexes from Jan 1877 to Mar 1878, but no Lily Purslow.
If you do find the family on the 1851, it would hopefully show you the first child born and where. That would give you a good starting point to find the location and rough timeframe for Benjamin and Elizabeth's marriage.
Free bmd gives one possibility
Benjamin Purslow Mar 1850 Clun 18 69
The Elizabeth on the same page is Elizabeth Lewis.
Clun
Created 1st July 1837. Mainly in Shropshire, but included parts of Montgomeryshire.
Sub-districts : Bishop's Castle; Clun; Lydbury; Norbury.
GRO volumes : XVIII (1837-51); 6a (1852-1930).
Bishop's Castle, Clun, Clunbury, Clungunford, Dinmore, Edgton, Hill End, Hopesay, Hopton Castle, Horderley Hall, Lydbury North, Lydham, Mainstone, More, Mucklewick, Myndtown, Norbury, Old Church Moor, Ratlinghope, Shelve, Snead (1837-84), Wentnor.
I think the 1851 will give you more clues. If this is indeed the right marriage, I would expect you to find the couple on the 1851 census married maybe with a child.
Happy hunting
Sue
