Hi, I seem to have hit a brick wall with my ancestor William Charles Barnes and his family in 1891.He was a Non Domestic Gardener,born in Twinning, Gloucestershire and I can trace him in all the Censuses from 1861 to 1911 bar the 1891 Census.This particular Census would clear up many mysteries and I have spent many hours looking for him.
He spent most of his early life travelling around; Barnwood,Fairford, Allesley,Alcester- he was living in Alcester in 1884, when Ada Mary Barnes was born and then at some point after that settled in Cheltenham for good.
I think I would be looking for the following in that Census;
William Charles Barnes. ND Gardener Born 1847
Elizabeth Anne Barnes.Wife/Housekeeper/Greengrocer? Born 1849
Alfred Ernest Barnes.Labourer/Upholsterer/Cabinet Maker? Born 1874
Ada Mary Barnes Born Alcester 1884
Maud Alice Barnes Born Cheltenham 1888.
I am not asking anyone to do the hard work for me but I have looked and looked to no avail and I am wondering if I am missing something obvious.
Many thanks,
Barnsey
