Hi
In trying to discover the whereabouts of my ancestor Samuel Hayne in and beyond the 1871 census, see here -
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=674109.msg5191110#msg5191110 , I have traced his siblings to see if he was living with one of them, with the exception of one.
William Hayne, born 1835 at Earls Colne, Essex, was Samuel’s eldest brother. By the 1851 Census, he was living in Bethnal Green and was working as an apprentice to a linen draper.
He married Eliza English, (c.1831 at Nottingham), in 1858 also in Nottingham, and they produced two known sons. The family can be found there in the 1861 census, with William still being listed as a linen draper.
I cannot find William or Eliza in the 1871 census. Their children though can be found living with William’s sister in Chelmsford.
However in September 1871, the Chelmsford Chronicle wrote an article regarding William’s mother who had broken her arm. William wrote into the paper to highlight errors in the article, leaving his address as Broadway, Stratford.
Even with the above address, my initial searches for William and Eliza in the 1871 census have been unsuccessful. Can anyone help me in locating them?
