Durham Lookup Requests / 1881 Durham Census
« on: Thursday 18 March 10 03:02 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone help me on the 1881 Durham Census at all please? I have my Gt Grandfather William McGee living in Dawdon in 1871 and again in 1891. I also have him for 1901 and 1911 but I cannot find him or the rest of the family in 1881!!!!
In 1871, the family unit was as follows:
James Megee 33
Elizabeth Megee 30
James Megee 10
Robert Megee 7
William Megee 6
John Megee 4
Joseph Megee 2
Jame Megee 5
Mary Megee 5
They then seem to disappear. The spelling is a bad transcription on Ancestry. I have tried all sorts of combinations of Magee/McGee/MacGee etc etc but to no avail. An Elizabeth McGee (widow) does surface with a son William who is a trainee tailor but William was a blacksmith, and some of the other family members don't ring true.
Thanks in advance, Jackie
