Job Curtis

[joyce baber]

I am hoping someone will be able to help me please I have been trying to find a Job Curtis in the 1841,  1851,  1861 census  but I am having no luck. In the 1871 census Job is married  and his place of birth is stated as Stapleton Mangotsfield but  I cannot find him any where in Stapleton or Mangotsfield  in the those census. When he was married his father was James   but I caanot find him either so I am wondering whether they had their names down at all. Thank you if any one can help  Joyce Baber

Hi Joyce
Had a look at the image for 1871 and it gives Job's place of birth as Wiltshire. I think you'll find him there on earlier census records.

Thank you for looking for me I did try to look on the 1841 census there was no Job  there with a James and I looked on the 1851 census and I found a Job with his Grandparents  and nothing on 1861  so I still dont know who his mother is. Thank you

In 1861 Job Curtis aged 11 is listed as Grandson of James and Ann Gough - aged 36 and 34 respectively.

Something odd there wouldn't you think?

This could be his birth,

and possibly his marriage,

Job CURTIS    Sep Q 1861    Clifton    v.6a  p.217
Caroline KING with same details.

Hi

Just in case nobody has spotted this......

On the 1881 census Job and his wife, Caroline, have a 21 year old son called Aaron Curtis, who does not appear with them in 1871.

In 1871 he is with (guess who ).....James and Ann Gough and described as Grand Son. (Cricklade RG10/1884 Folio 94 Page 10).

Possibility is that Job Curtis is James Gough's natural son with Sarah, born before they married.  In 1841 they decide to use James' surname for the children, but by 1851, when James is now with Ann, Job is using his mother's surname.
