Any census before 1881 Joseph Bevins Nuneaton born 1852

[madelaine71]

I am trying to trace family tree. Have got as far back as Joseph and Sarah Ann Bevins. The 1881 census has them living in Higham On the Hill. I would like any info from earlier census'. Hopefully from when they were still living with their parents.
Joseph Bevins born 1852 Chilvers Coton Nuneaton
Sarah Ann Bevins maybe nee Turner 1861? Southam Warks

Any info at all would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Madelaine,

On the 1851 census there is only one Bevins family living in Chilvers Coton. It is also interesting that they are from Leicestershire:

Name   Relationship   Mar   Age    Sex   Occupation    Birthplace
Nathaniel  BEVINS   Head   M   36   M   Provision Dealer   Hinckley-LEC
Ann  BEVINS   Wife   M   33   F   ---   Hinckley-LEC
Thomas  BEVINS   Son   U   11   M   Scholar   Hinckley-LEC
Elizabeth  BEVINS   Daur   U   9   F   Scholar   Hinckley-LEC
Mary Ann  BEVINS   Daur   U   5   F   Scholar   Hinckley-LEC
Nathaniel  BEVINS   Son   -   3   M   Scholar   C Coton-WAR
John  BEVINS   Son   -   4m   M   ---   C Coton-WAR
Thomas  BEVINS   Bro   M   60   M   Farmer   Hinckley-LEC
Ann  BEVINS   Moth   M   57   F   Dairy Woman   C Coton-WAR
   Address:   Coton Road, Nuneaton
   Census Place:   Chilvers Coton Nuneaton, Warwickshire
   PRO Reference:   HO/107/2065   Folio:   324   Page:   31   FHL Film:   0087325

I think this maybe Joseph's parents.

I cannot find Joseph anywhere on the 1871 census and I have looked every which way !!!!

There is only on Sarah Ann...of the right age...born in Southam on the 1871 census and she is a Turner. But there are a couple of Sarah A.'s

Here is Sarah Ann's family:

Southam, Warwickshire
William Turner  Head  39   (Can't read Occupation)  Southam, Warks
Dorcas Turner  Wife   48    Dressmaker                     (Can't read)
Elizabeth Turner  Dau  13                                          Southam
Louisa Turner  Dau   11                                             Southam
Sarah Ann Turner  Dau 9                                           Southam
William J. Bond? Step son 20                                     Southam
Harry Bond  Step Son  14                                          Southam
RG10/3219  Folio 109  Page 31

If you get the marriage certificate for Joseph and Mary Ann you will be able to confirm this.
Have you looked for their marriage reg at 1837online?

Hope this helps,

Hi India
That was exactly what I wanted to know. I couldn't find Sarah Ann turner I was just hoping she was a Turner. I have ordered a birth cirtificate for Joseph so hopefully that will confirm his parents.
Thanks ever so much for your help
