I'm having trouble locating Charles Oakley, born approx 1836, Kidderminster.

Ive found him in the 81 and 91 Census, and know him to be in India in 61 and 71.

Anyway, I'm having trouble locating him in 61, and thus finding out who his parents are.

Can anyone help? Many thanks.

Should that be 1841 not 61?  :)

JJ

You're right. I think I'm hungover.  ;D

He married Mary Covington, born Ireland 1829. I have a feeling Covington might not be her maiden name, but instead her previously married name.

Anyway, I'm having trouble locating him in 61, and thus finding out who his parents are.

Can anyone help? Many thanks.

Can you give some details of the family in the 1881/1891 censuses?

Hello, I'm not at my computer at the moment so can give you the precise details, but I can remember bits.

Charles Oakley, born in either Kidderminster or Ireland, his wife Mary, born in Ireland, and daughter Mary Ann, born East India. Charles is a Bricklayer, and they're either in Kingston, London, or Walsall, Staffs

The 81 census on ancestry says he's 50,but this is a transcription error, he's actually 56.

I can't remember any other details at the top of my head.

Have you checked the India births on FindMyPast?

No, I don't have a subscription to that website.

Hello everyone, so yesterday I solved a mystery as to why I couldn't find my great great grandmother or her family prior to a the 1881 Census, firstly, they weren't here, secondly, her parents were Irish, which I didn't know, so chance are they weren't here either.

I finally found someone with the same name as her parents in the 91 census, same profession (bricklayer) and a younger Sibling I knew nothing of. This younger siblings place of birth said she was born in East India.

Oddly, I also found a registration for someone of the same name, and same time in Walsall, (where they were from)
Would British subjects in India be registered over here still?

Also, could someone point me in the direction of a register of employees of the EIC and its successor after it was disbanded? (whose name I forget, its been years since school)
Would a bricklayer be a desirable trade for the EIC?

Many thanks!
