Wish Family

[Kingslynn]

I have a bunch of children who were born within the district of Ecclesall Bierlow (today in Sheffield); their names are:
Richard Wish b. Jun 1876 (Qtr)
George Wish b. Dec 1877 (Qtr)
Frank Wish b. Dec 1881 (Qtr)
Alice Dora Wish b. Mar 1887 (Qtr)

Their parents are Frank Wish (1846-1920] and Amelia (nee Hubbard) [1847-1925] married 1868 in West Walton, Norfolk.  Frank Wish was from Devonshire.

I have searched and search for these children to find out where they were born but I haven't found anything other than what I found above on FreeBMD.  In 1871, they emmigrated to the USA so the 1871 England/Wales census is not listed.

If anyone knows of a Wish family living in this area would you please get back to me.

Many thanks,
Heather

They couldn't have emigrated in 1871, if the children were born between 1876 and 1887?

From 1881 census:
Reference RG11, Piece 4638, Folio 56, Page 9
25 Wolstenholm Road, Eccleshall Bierlow

Wish, George  Head  M  35  Electro Plate Manufacturer employing 12 men, 4 boys  b Lincoln
Wish, Sarah  Wife  F  37  b Sheffield
Brown, Reginald H  StepSon  M  14  ApprenticeSilversmith  b Sheffield
Wish, Richard  Son  M  4  b Sheffield
Wish, George  Son  M  3  b Sheffield
+ servant

I have searched and search for these children to find out where they were born but I haven't found anything other than what I found above on FreeBMD.  In 1871, they emmigrated to the USA so the 1871 England/Wales census is not listed.

But FreeBMD says they were born in Eccleshall Bierlow? Not sure I understand?
