Help with census
« on: Wednesday 27 August 08 01:44 BST (UK) »
Hello

I have been searching for any census records concerning the followering people, but not having much luck.
So I have added their marriage dates and who they married to help. All Stafford marriages

Lucy  Merricks m 1870  to John William Baker
Jane  Merricks m 1879  to John James Johnson
Mary  Merricks m 1865  to Thomas Hughes
Ann    Merricks m 1870  to George Jenkinson
Lydia  Merricks m 1874  to Joseph Bradley

Cheers

Yes all sisters, and that is their parents William and Mary Merricks living at North Street.
For some reason I could not find later census for George Jenkinson, found one in prison in 1881 but no Anne Jenkinson.

Well it does help if you can give as much information as possible  :)

So did you already have all that census information, I thought you said you couldn't find them in any census - did you just mean in census after their marriages?

another possible  1871  RG10/2967 Fol 13 p.19
32 Bulls Street, Rushall, Walsall, Staffs
BAKER
John  head m 26 Lath Cleaver  Worcs Kidderminster
Lucy   wife  m 25                       no birthplace stated
John    son     ?mo                     Islington Middx London

That was the only Jenkinson I found in the 1881 census, but it did not weigh up.
But still unable to find the others. for 1881 as I would like to see if they had children.

Here are  the areas the girls got married-
Jane Civial marriage in Stafford
Mary Eccleshall Holy Trinity Churcfh, Stafford
Ann St Mary, Stafford
Lydia Mt Drayton, Shropshire
and Lucy is a big question mark on her marraige to John William Baker married Saint Nicholas, Sussex.

Thankyou
That does look about right, the family all worked at Bostock shoe factory.
Did you want birth dates if that will help?
