Title: Missing in 1841 census?!
Post by: bugbear on Tuesday 03 July 18 12:50 BST (UK)
I have a family;

Isaac John Gale and Sarah Kidd; married in 1821-08-16, Sculcoates, Hull.

3 Children baptised;
Eleanor, 1822, Hull Trinity
Eleanor Mason, 1825, Hull Trinity,
Sarah, 1829, Hull Trinity

Eleanor Mason Gale married John James Thompson in 1845, in Saint James, Hull
Sarah Gale married Joseph Wager, in 1849, Hull Trinity; at this wedding Isaac John Gale is recorded as deceased

I have found census entries for 1851 for Eleanor/John and Sarah/Joseph
HO107/2363/ 925 p 3
HO107/2363/411 p 15

It appears that Sarah Kidd is now a widow, by the name of Rawson with 2 children (Charles, b1839 and Thomas b1844); She is living with Sarah/Joseph.

Despite all this lovely data I cannot find Sarah/Eleanor/Sarah in 1841; I cannot find a marriage to Mr Rawson, and I cannot find a birth/baptism for Charles or Thomas, nor a census entry for Charles. According to find my past there was a not a single Charles in the whole of Hull!

I have a horrid hole in my data!

I no longer have an 1841 gap in my data - excellent, thank you.
