[cathieee]

hi i was wondering if anyone could help

my great x3 grandparents robert and dorothy bullen (on marriage record he s down as robert bullin)
i can find them living in liverpool in the 1841 census and i can find dorothy living with her son in the 1861 census ,but i cant find either of them on the 1851 census ,i know robert died in 1855 so they were both alive in 1851 ,i ve looked up all obscure spellings of the name ,but cant find them anywhere, why would this be ,thanks cathie

so will ask the moderator to move it to the Lancashire board

You haven't given any information to help us trace them - birthyears/birthplaces/childrens names etc etc

hi ,sorry ,but i cant find out how you post a new thread ,i put in robert bullen and ticked lancashire resources and look up ,but it just said "did you mean robbert bull" which i did nt ??

im not new to this site but have nt been on for a while ,so i ve forgotten how to post??

i ll just give the info you asked for here ,sorry to be a pain

robert bullen born 1792 lancashire ,i only know his birth through the 1841 census and his marriage cert says -robert bullin married dorothy drisdale (drysdale) widow she was born dorothy smith in 1792/3 - married 14/12/1818 at st mary s ,walton on the hill liverpool

i have them living at neal buildings liverpool on the 1841 census and i have dorothy living with son henry bullen in the 1861 census ,robert died in 1855 ,but i can find either of them on the 1851 census ,they were both still alive and i ve tried lots of name varients and done it for the whole country ??

if you could pass this info over to the right board i d be most grateful ,thanks cathie

hi again

sorry but only after posting did i see the 2 other replies to my post ,thank you both ,also could i just ask ,where did you find them with those strange name interpretations ??

[cathieee]

hi

just one last one ,i ve put both doratha ballin and dorrett ballin into find my past search and both have come up with no results ??

[cathieee]

hi sorry again ,i ve found it ,as well as the mad spelling their ages are totally wrong ,thats why they were nt coming up ,as i said they were married in 1818 ,but dorothy was married in 1814 to a john drisdale a mariner ,and as you can see she would have only been 12 years old if she had been born in 1802 ,all the other census s have them down as 8 years older than on this one ,and only 2/3 years younger on the 1841 census ,mystery solved ,thanks again ,but i would still like my message forwarded to the right board as i cant find roberts bapt record

thanks again all x

Hi

It may get a little more difficult, on one Robert Bullen burial record it states he was 47 years old. Born c1808 ~ This man would have only been about 10 when they married
