Hi I was wondering if anyone know's the answer im searching a family and think i have the right ones, but according to Ancestry they where born elsewhere (Ireland) not where i was hoping , how do they know this when on the census returns the box is ticked for out of county. Hoping someone can help thanks Julie

Can you tell us who it is, so others can look at the image? merry

Hi Merry Thanks for your reply Info as follows: Sarah Cameron Age: 11 Estimated birth year: abt 1830 Household: View other family members Gender: Female Where born: Lancashire, England Civil parish: Manchester Hundred: Salford County/Island: Lancashire Country: England Street address: Occupation: View image Source information: HO107/575/13 Registration district: Manchester Sub-registration district: St George ED, institution, or vessel: 25 Folio: 28 Page: 12 (click to see others on page) Line number: 9 GSU Number: 438727

According to 1851 census: Sarah was born Bath 1829 William born Doncaster 1825 Mary Born 1805 Doncaster 1805 Father James i think is deceased. I havent found Sarah( now married with the name Saxton) in 1861. She is deceased by1871. Never found death for her.

Looking at the image, not the transcript, James, Mary and Sarah Ann were born in Ireland and William, Sarah and Jane were born in Lancashire. Afterwards, I looked at the transcript, and this seemed to read the same?? Merry

I can't find Sarah Cameron born Bath in 1851??? Still looking.................... Merry

Thanks Merry I must be loosing my mind tonight, just taken another look and your right. I mistook the I for a tick. Not sure i have the right family now, back to the drawing board i think Thanks for your help Julie

Oops, found her in 1851. Hmmmm....suspicious. They think Bath is in Wiltshire....seems an odd place for them to be - travelling brtween Ireland and Lancashire............ Merry

Sorry Merry She is a Saxton by 1851 not 1861. julie

Oh, right - I get it now.....you need the 1851 family in 1841 and the ones you found are not right. having another look................. Merry

I thought was very odd to, the other family members (Cameron) are born in Doncaster. There full names are Sarah Ann Cameron (Saxton) William Hunt Cameron (son) Mary Ann Cameron (mother) James (poss Stuart) Cameron Father Julie

Hmmm.....not having any luck. This is the trouble when they could have been anywhere!! Might have another look in the morning - cream-crackered now! Merry (Gosh, it's only 10.30 LOL)

Thanks Merry for taking the time to luck Julie

I still can't find them in 1841, but agree with you it's very odd for wife and son to be born in Doncaster yet Sarah in Bath. Do you know the occupation of the father? I note you said he was dead in 1851, but his wife is down as married, not a widow. Are you sure he is dead? Merry

Hi Merry Booking app for opticans lol. Yes your right again, Mary is down as married. Just checked Sarah's marriage cert James Stuart Cameron was alive in 1849 occ: Jeweller Julie
