As a side note, Walter HOUSLEY doesn't appear to have been transcribed in the FreeBMD for their marriage. Only Mary CLARKE is appearing.

Hi all,
Thanks hsfam that 1891 census definitely looks correct but I still cant pull it up on ancestry for some reason.
I do have the marriage certificate for Mary and David and he is listed as occupation miner. I am unsure wether he died, they divorced or she just ran away to Sheffield with great granddad.
I also have her death certificate where she is named as Mary Elizabeth Bostock. Although family says they were never actually married.

Hi Sally,

I'm not surprised you haven't found it on A. The writing is truly awful so probably a transcription error. You may need to jiggle things a bit to find them. I found the return on [FindMyPast] but I don't have a sub for A so can't do a cross check. The Clarke name is fairly legible so maybe try under their names.

Yeah, that's where I found it, Suz.

On A******y the Clarke family are transcribed as "Clarks" and Walter Housley is transcribed as "Walker Handy"

Hi suz, Yes just found it on FindMyPast and then looked up the folio piece numbers and got it. I would never have found them under walker handy!

Oops. Sorry, should have passed on the Folio numbers. I had to rush off after my last post as my little son had just called out. Its night here and he's been sick. Anyway, just thought of it now but see that you have it all sorted! I'm off to bed. Good luck with the rest of your hunt!
