Title: John Maddox lodger. & wife Eliza( are the Owens children hers or George Smiths
Post by: brigidmac on Monday 07 September 20 12:59 BST (UK)
In 1971 census John.Maddox 27 a plumber from Malpas cheshire is listed in the household of George Smith  a 42 year old porter and his wife margaret YATES and their children
Under George & Margaret are 7 children I know to be theirs Edgar 19 butcher to annie age 3

Under that is eliza crossed out then john  Maddox and his wife Eliza 26 from Wrexham
+ 3 more children
Mary OWEN 6
Albert Edward OWEN 3
Annie MADDOX 1 month

The enumerator has described them as daughter son son
So of course transcriptions as them of children of head of household

Several trees have the young OWEN children to George SMITH tho there is no Evidence of this

I suspect they could be children of Eliza MADDOX  from a first marriage
Cant find the MADDOX family in 1881

Fresh eyes please

Thanks so much ...my sister is going to have to rewrite her beautiful family tree book

Those children may well be related to other branches of our Smith Jones family but they are not Smiths

Ive been looking on ancestry and  family search but couldnt find them

Good idea to look at Maddocks spelling

But it was her first husband called Thomas from rosies findings

The plumbers first name was John

OK will go with that, but there first child was also an Annie aged 10 on 1881, but I believe she is the Anne Royal Maddocks b Sept qtr 1870 Birkenhead, so not aged 1 month in 1871?

PS and Eliza 36 was born in Brymbo, a part of Wrexham?

Thanks john I.ll try and find it.

Im really just eliminating these children from my tree

But there is a distant llink to an adelaide MADDOX so maybe it all links up.

Yes there are 33 trees with Thomas Maddocks including a beautifully well documented tree

They have 2 possible censuses for 1871
Neither is the Birkenhead one

My tablet keeps freezing ..I.ll check the age of  baby Annie      yes ,* 1.month

Ive not found Albert Edward OWEN with his grandmother yet either
 could you tell me any other details to put into search please Dundee

Ive added them as a floating  HYPOTHESIS branch to my tree while I search but will delete if not

Im keeping up slowly
The Thomas Maddocks on wedding bans is also a plumber and
Eliza Owens is a widow
She gives fathers name as Timothy  JONES which is quite an unusual name at the time

The trees ive looked at so far dont seem to know about her first marriage the Owens children or the Maddox couple s wherabouts in 1871

Will do John thanks for pointer

Im sorry im so slow

I actually dont know how to search census on Ancestry from folio numbers.
If I find the tree I.should be able to follow their refs

I did find a widowed Thomas with daughter Annie 20 which could be them

If you have Ancestry then it's pretty easy using ref numbers.
Go to the year you want  ie 1881/1891 etc
Go to england census or scottish or what you require
Scroll down and you should see piece no. , folio no., page no. Enter the numbers people post, click and a list of names should appear. Go to the name you want, click and the image should appear.
Give it a go.
