I wondered if anyone has any ideas on the variations I should look for while search for Bannister?
So far I have come up with :
Thunites (a very helpful member found that for me)
Banister
Barister
Has anyone got any other ideas, as i,m a bit stuck with a few missing bannisters and thought they might have been copied incorrectly *closed*

doh! Sorry!!!
Henry william bannister 05/08/1824
wife mary ann (marriage date 11/05/1851
son henry richard 24/12/1854
all st pancras, I can,t find them together on the 1861,1871 census so thought it might have been copied wrong
thanks

You could try looking for a Henry (no middle name or surname) born 1854 +/-5 years with father Henry and mother Mary.

1871 have you ruled out this one. Image could be Banister ??

What is the occupation of Henry - father or son - as that would be useful.

Are either of them house painters?

I agree. Searching just on first names often works for me.
I've lost count of the number of mistranscriptions for one of my surnames of interest. Using the first name and approximate age and perhaps county I trawl through, keeping a look out for 'odd' names of about the right letter length that aren't normally seen.
Often this means a mistranscription and the image reveals something quite different.

If that doesn't work, I might leave out the age...in case that has been wrongly entered too.

They're often there somewhere, ...just a case of finding them !

hi, thanks everyone sorry for delay in reply been to bed!! Henry william was listed as a journeyman butcher, i did see the painters but wasn,t guite sure on the change of occupation, I will have a look at Bamsle result thanks very much for the hints
julie

A huge thank you to glitter baby that is the second time you have helped me now,(you found another line under the name of thunites!) I do think that is the correct family, now if i can find them in 1881 etc i will be able to close that one. I have now got to work out who Telly really is and whether charles is realy a charlotte as they put down age in both columns and listed him as a girl!!!!!!!!!

Julie,

Still not really sure about that family listed as Bamsle.

1881 this is why I queried the occupation

Julie,

What evidence do you have that Henry Richard was from St Pancras? Can you list the family in the later censuses?

Rose

Is this your Henry in 1851? If it is he is a plasterer. She is an artificial flower maker.

Hi, the 1851 Butcher is the first one I have for Henry, with his mum mary and siblings, On igi i,ve got his marriage to Mary ann Gray and one child as Henry richard but i am not sure if he changed his occupation I got St pancras from the 1841 census with his mum and dad etc, the 1851 census aslo shows the correct address as 33 Gresse Street, other than that he disapeared!
