I think I have William and Ann in the censuses as far as 1881 so far. It is his placce of birth that is a bit all over the place but that might be down to transcription issues. ( Age a bit variable too!)
1851 in Shincliffe
William 30 b Earsdon Northamptonshire (should be Northumberland)
Joseph 5
Ralph 4
1861 in Shincliffe
William 42 b Whitby Yorkshire ( Think it might actually be Whitley Northumberland)
Ann 39 b Jarrow (did not spot she was missing in 1851 until now!)
Joseph 15
Ralph 13
Robert 9
Maria 5
Hannah 3
Edward 0 (All born Shincliffe apart from Josph)
1871 in Shildon at Eldon Old Pit
William 54 b Whitley North' land (incorrectly transcribed as Northamptonshire)
Ann 48 b Hebron, Durham
Edward 10 b Shincliff
1881 at Eldon Old Pit Houses
William 64 b Earsdon (now an overman at colliery)
Ann 60 b Jarrow
Hannah 23 b Shincliff
Earsdon not far from Whitley (Bay) in Northumberland.
Gro indexes would appear to confirm mmn as Peel for the other children.
