Missing parents from census.

[Philezra]

Hi everyone. I have a conundrum unless I'm being daft.

Alice Barrow married William Russell 1814 in Bolton. I think they have Sarah bapt 1815 and John bapt 1817.

Census 1841 shows William 45, Alice 45, Joseph 15, James 13, William 10, Mary 7.

Census 1851 has all of them except William jnr.

Census 1861 has all except William or Mary. However, there is Mary Barrett, 4 Granddaughter.

Can I find the parents?? No. Logic would suggest that Mary has married "somebody" Barrett.....

Cannot find her/them.

Can anyone solve this? Could be mistranscribed but I cannot find a marriage for a Russell + Barrett anywhere.

Phil

Thank you

Have you looked on freebmd for a birth for Mary and then used the GRO maiden name search to find her mothers maiden name?  Not all relationship entries on census returns are correctly entered

Hello,

There is a marriage November 30th 1856 for Mary Russell, father William, to John Barrow.
Perhaps it is just an error.

Heywood

GRO indexes show Mary Barrow with mmn Russell.
1861 shows Mary Barrow with two other young children  1861 2822/36/9

I have found the same records as heywood and agree that the enumerator may have misheard the surname as Barrett instead of Barrow.

So Mary marries a Barrow, just her father did!! Need to connect them....

No sign of John though.

Apparently his father was Samuel. Need them together in a census.

They are together in 1871  RG10 Piece 3933 Folio 43 Page 30

For your consideration

1841 538/28/15

Samuel Barrow   37 yrs Boiler Maker
Mary Barrow   35 yrs
John Barrow   5yrs 10 months (I think)
Isaac Barrow 4 months

John is shown as 'not born in county'.
This would seem to be Samuel B and Mary Williams - married in Liverpool. This fits with 1851 where they are in Horwich but no John 

[Radcliff]

so Samuel married in Liverpool
then reappears in Bury where their son Isaac is baptised in June 1841
