Hi Beckey

Have you tried searching against Toseland? The parish is actually Toseland rather than Toesland. When searching the 1881 index on Ancestry there are predictably no entries for Corn key word Toesland, whereas there are 30 Corns with the correct spelling of Toseland

According to the Victoria County History spelling variations pf Toseland are Toleslund (xi cent.), Touleslund, Tholeslund, Toulislond (xiii cent.), Touseland (xiv cent.), Towesland (xvi cent.).

Hi Wozzle,
Thank you for the info. didn't have the 1871 or 91 for Leader or the marriage details.

Hi David,

You have mentioned before about my spelling of Toseland,
but tried all ways to get them in 1881 and all Counties, their grandmother Frances Corn was also missing the same time.
Will have another go.

Have tried with "familysearch" all counties and no sign of the family, Abraham & Martha Corn, 3 children and Frances Corn, latter died 1888,  between 1871 Toseland 1891 at St Neots, looks like they slipped through the net.
