hi i am trying to find John Ricketts
i have him marrying ada emily watts 19 feb 1890
registry office in Chipping Sodbury
his father is listed as William Ricketts Wheelwright
john is 24 when he married and his job was cowman
i can find him on the census after his marriage 1891.1901.and 1911
they had 9 children
but i cant find him on earlier census
i was thinking his parents were william ricketts 1833 Down Ampney and caroline telling 1835 from latton wiltshire
but he is not with the family on 1881 census in Fasting Hill Doynton
i cant find the family on 1871 census
1861 there is a john ricketts age 1 but i am not sure this is the person i am looking for .
any ideas
i cant seem to find him on the BMD index to order the certificate

John puts his PoB as "Cerney Wick" on the '91 Census - age 25.
The age doesn't "fit" an 1864-66 birth but there is
1861 -RG09 1783 32 16
PoB fits + Father's name + occupation "Carpenter" ties in with "Wheelwright"
Possibility?

This looks like the family in 1871 census transcribed as Ruketes
Address Fasting Hill Civil parish Purton District Crickdale Piece 1888/folio /49
William Ruketes b Down Ampney age 37 occupation wheelwright widow
William age 16, Mary age 12, John age 11 says place of birth Army Wick but looks like Cerney to me ...Sarah age 9, Emma age 7, Joseph age 6
There is a death register for Caroll Ricketts b 1837 died 1869 age 32
Registration District Crickdale ..Going by the area they are in strong possibility this is her
