Fanny and James Bance from Hoo

[genewizard]

Hi I have a Fanny Bance born 1874 in Hoo kent who married Harry James Vinten 21/4/1907 in Gravesend her father was listed as James Bance a labourer, the problem I am having is trying to find Fanny and James on the 1881,1891 and 1901 census records, I have searched ancestory with lots of name variations but to no luck would anyone be able to help please as really need to find her.
Thanks

Hi Genewizard
Could she be the Fanny Bance in 1901 b Cooling - which is in the Hoo Reg District?
If so, I can see her with her family in 1881 indexed as Barnes - but the writing is unclear on the census sheet.

Good find Ricky - I'd just given up on 1881, and went back to 1871 to try and pin down James ...

Same Family ..

1871 - RG10/901; Folio: 20; Page: 2 - Cooling, Hoo District ...

Strange actually, thats not the 1st time that using Regn District in 1881 has failed - must be different indexing to the Ancestry based census - assuming they used LDS data ?

But can you find them in 1891 - I'm not having any luck with James and Jane although I can see their son James.

no worries, looks like all are homing in on 1891 ... did you see my comment on 1881 indexing ?

Theres a Fanny SPEARMAN born 1875, Cooling - a Servant in High Halstow - Hoo District.

Dont recall the name in the area in 1881 tho - will check !

Damnit - theres a Matilda F. Spearman in 1881
