Hello, could somebody please help me so shed some light on what appear to be a family who may have 'gone out' ont he night of the census.

I have found the following from the 1871 Census:
Frederick Butler - 40
Sarah Butler - 38
Esther Butler - 8
Louisa Butler - 6
Frederick Butler - 4
Richard Butler - 2

They were all living in 'The Camden Arms' pub, which was at:
13 La Belle Alliance Sq, Ramsgate

in 1881 - at the same address lived:

Frederick Butler - 44
Sarah Butler - 44
Esther Butler - 18
Laura Butler - 16
Richard Butler - 12
Cordelia Butler - 9
Jeanetta Butler - 8
Albert Butler - 3

I can see that some of the information has altered somewhat (who hasn't lied about their age from time to time eh? - especially if you are in a pub at the time)  but I have taken this to be the same family.

However, they seem to vanish in 1891 - I can find no trace of them until, again at the same address in the 1901 Cenus, I have:

Frederick Butler - 63
Sarah Butler - 66
Stanley Butler - 19

I would be very interested in the 1891 information, as I would love to know what happened to all the kids ? - I am finding no BMD details for the majority of them, so I'm hoping for a lead or two.

If anyone can help, I would be grateful

Thanks
Richard

Oh dear, in that case, I may have made a faux pas or two with my tracing. 

For example - I know that my Grandfather's parents were called Richard and Ellen, and in order to locate Ellen's maiden name, I found Richard's marriage detail, then looked to see who was on the same page of the register.

There was indeed an Ellen listed - so I took this to be who I was searching for.  But now this may not be the case?

Blimey, this is all getting confusing !!! 

Hello,

The date of birth information I managed to get from the FreeBMD site, along with his death date and Marriage date.

I think to solve this little mystery, I should invest in a certificate - It would be useful for me to test out the system

Hi,

Am wondering if anyone would be able to shed any more light on the early movements of my great grandfather - James William Tettersell.

The information I have uncovered is pretty sketchy

Born in 1860 in Brighton (Steyning?)
Married in 1888, again in Steyning
appears on the 1901 census in Strood (Kent) - however his name is mis-spelt as Tettersol - which is probably why he is tricky to track down.
Died 1914

I would be interested to learn of any 1861 census information - as this would give me the next family lead.

I have searched (in vain) all the usual haunts but am getting nowhere fast.  I am yet to get a copy of his marriage certificate (which is next on the list if all else fails !)

Thanks

Richard

Hi all,

I've got the bug - and am spending many a long hour, getting excited at every new discovery that I make about the various branches of both my own and my wife's family history.

I've registered with numerous websites (and am now dreading the visa bill !) and think for the time-being that I have exhausted all available census records. 

I've greated a 'GEDCOM' file of my tree and have uploaded this to a variety of places - However, I have notices that it only seems to generate a tree based on immediate descendants and not their siblings (which I would imagine would be a useful resource in itself).

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can make it known that I have details of these brothers & sisters (of whom someone else may be researching) - which may generate leads of their own ?

Thanks

Rich
