Accuracy of the 1891 census
« on: Friday 15 August 14 17:32 BST (UK) »
Please could someone help me, I have been chasing my tail for hours and am now wondering if my family are just not listed on the 1891 census
I have
Hannah Adeline Bayley
Registration Year: 1889
Registration Quarter: Jan-Feb-Mar
Registration district: Hereford Herefordshire
Volume: 6a
Page: 488

and
George Henry Bayley
Registration Year 1883
Registration district Hereford Herefordshire
Volume: 6a
Page: 487

But I don't seem to be able to trace either of them any further forward, I know Hannah subsequently called herself Adeline and her married surname was Thomas (possible husband's name David??) and George went into the British army in 1900 so isn't on the 1901 census but I can't find either of them in 1891 nor a record of Hannah/ Adeline's marriage to Mr Thomas.

Could anyone spare time to see if I am looking for something which just isn't there. Thanks everso in advance

Hello,

Do you know their parents names?

There is a George 6 yrs and an Annie 3 yrs with several siblings and parents George and Elizabeth Bailey in Hereford at 1891 2063/98/7

Yes, thank you I have seen that one and ATM don't have parent's names. I will send for Hannah Adeline's BC next week, I wondered if Adeline was Annie but it seems so far fetched that you would name a child Hannah Adeline and then call her Annie that I really discounted them!

Hi Lizzielogs -

The family are mistranscribed on the 1891 census as 'Bagley' - they are living at 'The Laurels', Eywas Harold, Hereford.  :)

Hales: Navenby, Lincs
Lidbetter: Sussex
Burns: Birmingham/Weston-super-Mare

If the head of the household may have been Luke, then try Bagley as a possible mistranscription. There is a Bagley family with a Hannah and a George of about the right age in Ewyas Herold/Harold in Herefordshire.

Looks like my post and Mrs. Tenacious crossed. Increases the likelihood of it being the right folks when we have both arrived at it independently :)
