Title: Bilner - Colchester
Post by: AmyUK on Monday 03 April 17 17:25 BST (UK)
Can someone please lookup Charles and Sarah Bilner in the census records and post their children's names and birth years and Charles occupation please? I have already got children Frederick, Sarah, Charles and Mary but not their birth years but I think there may be one or two more children.

It is possible to search the GRO index at  https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/Login.asp

Using surname Bilner/Billner to find any children

Starting with Sarah  ;)

Found Emma born 1864 on the 1871 census. Also Mary baptised 29/7/1867 in Ramsay. Didn't find any other baptisms there. Found Charles and Sarah's marriage 5/10/1861 in great Oakley. His father was William. Hers was james clover.
Sarah was baptised in Ramsey 30/4/1837 to james and Sarah.

Hi AmyUK

Just found your post. I am a direct descendant of Sarah Clover's parents - James CLOVER & Sarah WILSON.

Between 1860 and 1876 there is only one BILNER baptism in St.Micheal, Ramsey (as far as I have found)

29 July 1867 Mary dtr of Charles & Sarah BILNER - Labourer - Ramsey

GRO has birth as BILLNER mother's maiden name CLOVER in Tendring District

GRO also has another Mary BILLNER 1866 mother's maiden name CLOVER in Tendring District

I've not followed the BILNER line much, but have some info if you are still looking.

A look on Freereg for BILNER (and name Soundex) has what appear to be Charles & Sarah's children being baptised in Wix Methodist Church.

SEAX registers show some being buried in St. Michael, Ramsey
