Fresh pair of eyes for 1871 census!!
« on: Thursday 20 March 08 19:46 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

I'm having no luck at all trying to find Eli White and his wife Maria in the '71 census.

Eli was born and baptised in 1828 in Tockenham, Wilts. Maria, born c1829 in Wootton Bassett.

They married in 1850, and in 1851 were in Greenhill with son Albert, aged 4 months(?)

1861 were in Steeple Ashton with children Abraham, 10 born Tockenham, Jacob, born 1856 in Tockenham or Wootton Bassett, Ann Elizabeth, born 1858 in Tockenham, and Isaac, born 1860 in Semington.

Found a death reg for an Eli White in 1874, age 45 in Tisbury district, but can't find any of the family in 1871.

HELLPPPP!!!! They're driving me mad now. Seriously, any help would be great.

Hi Pam,

Many thanks for your help - yes, the ones you found all belong to me!!

I think that Eli, Maria and their children just vanished into thin air after 1871!!!!

Thanks again
