on this census my ggggrandparents were recorded as having 3 NR (non resident children) I know that one of them was only 3yrs old at that time. Could anyone tell me where they might have lived. It was common on the census.
Thanks

1927?? And you have had access to it?

Great-great-great-grandparents in 1927?! I don't think so! ;D
There was no census in 1827, either! ???

Can you give us the names, and the correct census? :)

I can see a Blockley in Gloucestershire that had a Reverend's census in 1827.Perhaps this is the one Greli is referring to as the NR for non resident children is used on it.

Probably this one (1827) http://members.shaw.ca/panthers5/Blockley1827.html

I'm not sure that jumping down people's throats for a simple typing error is terribly helpful. Certainly it is not very welcoming.
There was an 1827 "census" by the local vicar I think.
I'm not sure where the children would be. Perhaps with grandparents? Toddlers were sometimes sent off to relatives if a new baby was due. Or if the parents were struggling, prehaps both working so hard that they were unable to care for the children. I've seen lots of children recorded in the later censuses as "nurse child" which means that they were being cared for (for payment probably).
PS And I wonder if some of the "children" down as non-resident had simply moved out? Working as servants or something? Maybe the the bulk of the NR children were quite old?
-
NR surely means that they were older children of the family who were no longer living at home
Nobody "was jumping down your throat" We all want to help but how many people were aware there was an unofficial census in 1827 :) :)

I think I would agree with you there Stan,older children flown the coop.It's an interesting document.

Very sorry I did mean 1827. No offence taken from anybody. Mary and William Bennett were married in 1820 so I presume that the children were under seven. My gggrandmother was a daughter born 1823 Ann and she had a sister Sarah born 1826. Dont know who the third child was. Mary and William went on to have several more children.
The 3 NR children do not appear on the 1827 census, but I suppose they could be living in another area.
Thanks everyone for your replies.

Do you have them with any children on the 1841 census Greli.

The census "1827" WAS done by Rev. Soden of Blockley . . . a census of his Flock, the source online is from me. I ran the parish council web site for 14 years and my cousin (died 25 June 2012) transcribed all of Blockley's records, almost all of which you can find on the researcher page at www.allthecotswolds.com

Is there an online version of the Rev. Soden's Blockley Census of 1827? Looking for Canning, Purser, Taplin and Rose.
-
There would appear to be an archive transcribed version at https://archive.org/stream/historyblockley00sodegoog/historyblockley00sodegoog_djvu.txt

You can find the 1827 census of Blockley by typing in Reverend Eyre 's 1827 census of Blockley.

Thankyou PaulineJ and Greli. I of course meant Rev Eyre's 1827 Census of Blockley, which I have now found online. I found two Taplin families living in Blockley and Paxford. My x3 ggrandma was Hannah Taplin born 1800 in Paxford. These most likely were relatives. She had married Charles Rose and moved to Mickleton by 1827. Their son, Robert Rose, was born in 1827, and was buried the same year at Weston Subedge. This is another piece of the family history jigsaw.

The census was part of Reverend Eyre’s book Guide to Blockley 1827.
