I have had no luck in finding this family in the 1871 census and am wondering if the surname is somehow unlegible or mistranscribed.
Or perhaps some of the census records are missing? If anyone can crack the puzzle - I'd be really grateful!
Perhaps there is a way of looking up the census by address?
Edward Thomas Neale b. 1849 (bap Saint Thomas Charterhouse, Finsbury) married in Oct. 1871. His address at the time was put down as 315(? bit hard to decipher) Bethnal Green rd. so I am wondering if that had been his address at the time of the census as well.
Edward Thomas may have been living with his mother and siblings at that time - I cannot find them either, at any rate. His father William Charles was noted as deceased at the time of the marriage in October but I don't know when exactly he died - he was living in 1861. I also don't if all of his siblings were still living in 1871 but potentially here are the other family members that I cannot locate in the same census!
Ann Neale (mother) b~1824 Cripplegate or Bethnal Green (it changes)
Rosetta b~1847 St Leonards Shoreditch (about 24)
Charles b~1852 St Leonards Shoreditch (about 19)
Catherine b~1860 Bethnal Green? (about 11)
James b~1863 (about 8 )
Geroge b~1867 St Leonards Shoreditch (about 4 )
much thanks,
