I have searched every which way I know to find this man and his son but I am stumped and would appreciate some help. I'm also unsure which would be the best board to post Lancashire or Lincolnshire as both counties involved
What I have so far is.
William Rastall born1831 in Aunsby Lincolnshire. He marries in 1862 in London, St Pancras to Eleanor Jane Skipworth.
They have a son, also in St Pancras London - William Herbert - the same month they marry. Child is baptised in Lincolnshire in June 1862 as William Edrie Herbert Rastall
They have a daughter Rosamund Evangeline in 1864.
Eleanor Jane dies in 1866 leaving William a widow with two very young children.
In 1871 William, the father is back with his own family in Pickworth Lincolnshire and both children are with other families - ( maybe at school ?) . Rosamund aged 6 is in Sleaford and William, aged 9
is in Folkingham
IN 1881 Rosamund is aged 16 and with an Uncle (John Rastall) in Pickworth, Lincolnshire
At some point his family move to Barton in Irwell Lancashire
I have a death 1887 for William Herbert (the son) aged 25 in Barton Upon Irwell
In 1891 William, the father is with his daughter Rose in Barton Upon Irwell, Lancashire. Rose now has a child (Herbert William) aged 6mths.
The move to Lancashire intrigue me!
What I can't find involves the 1881 census. Where is William (born 1831) where is his son William Herbert (born 1862).
