Hi, here's a bit of a challenge that I hope someone will take up.
I've been trying to find my gt Grandma on the 1861 & 1871 census.I subscribe to Ancestry but after searching every spelling I have drawn a blank with Harriet.
She was born Harriet Fellows around 1858 according to her marriage certificate her late father was James Fellows, a plane maker born around 1820 in Birmingham.
I can't get anything for her before her marriage in 1878 to Frederick Shipp in Birmingham
On the 1881 census she says she was born in Birmingham, but on 1891 it's Glamorganshire Wales.
My old auntie (her granddaughter) told me that she was tiny & Welsh, she also said she was a bit of a tyrant but that neither here nor there!
I think I've found her parents James & Mary with other children on the 1871 in Bristol.
RG10/2519/95 p7
No sign of Harriet.
I would be so grateful for some help with this.
Thank you in advance
Barbara
