Mabel Bagshawe..............1851 is spot on! Thank you.

Dimmocks Lane, Sedgley already has connections to the family

• Odd "Sarah M" as this appears to later be recorded as Esther M(aria)
• Mary A = CHECK
• Elizabeth = Betsy
• William H = CHECK

Dates all align


It is just 1871 that eludes me 

Evening,

I've recently been put in contact with a fellow Callear who connects to "my" tree via David Callear (b. ~1816)

I am trying to build that part ofthe tree but cannot find their location in 1851 & 1871 census'. The Callear surname is often appears in many forms (Callier, Calear, etc.) hence I thought a search guru may be able to weave some magic!!!

What I know.......

In 1841, David is living in Sedgley, Staffs with his wife Hannah (both 25) and two daughters Esther (6) and Mary (3). Ancestry has the surname transcribed as CalleN.

In 1861, David is living in Oldbury, Worcestershire. He's aged 46, Hannah 45 and they have a number of children: Betsy (18), William (15), George Ed (5), Alfred (5/12). Ancestry has the surname transcribed as Collear

David died in 1867, and Hannah and children can be found in the 1881 and later census records. Hannah is recorded at her son George's house in 1881.

Many thanks for reading and fingers-crossed!

Harriett seems to have married a Walter Lomas. She died 1962.

I had thought the key was that in "1939 he is a patient" suggesting forced separation and maybe explain why the family are no longer living by their own means BUT I would have expected them to still be shown as married.
