« on: Thursday 29 December 22 13:40 GMT (UK) »
Hi I'm struggling to find any information on William Whitehead born 1850 Warwickshire living in Sheffield 1880 on one census his birth place is transcribed as earby common Warwickshire which i have been told on another site could easily have been transcribed wrong and be Hurley common this is as far as I can get. Can't find any birth records etc.
Any help would be amazing
Thanks

working from the info in the opening post, I think we might need to start from this 1891 entry from Attercliffe cum Darnall, Sheffield district ? [as per Ancestry]

William Whitehead    41    Head b "Earby Common" Warwickshire
Lucy Whitehead   51    Wife b Sutton Bonnington, Nottinghamshire
Edward Whitehead   17    Son b Wincobank
Fanny Whitehead   14    Daughter b Wincobank
John W Whitehead   12    Son  b Wincobank

RG11; 4616; 78; 54;

That links to Comberton's 1881 suggestion www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q27Y-HXYV   The address shown on Ancestry is Low Wincobank

Wife's name is different

I had a suspicion about Alfred on the 1881 census as he seemed too old to be William's son and a Whitehead

Alfred John Freeman
Birth    24 Aug 1862
Baptism    28 Jan 1863, Wilnecote
Mother:    Mary

Thanks all, I didn't have his second wife's last name so that's fab. You lot are brilliant it took me weeks to find Mary freeman and work out her son wasn't Williams  ;D did any of you find any information on Williams mum and dad? On ancestry and FindMyPast it keeps taking me back to a family that don't link him to Sheffield
Thanks
