Hi All I was wondering how well transcribed the 71 is for the Birmingham area as I have two families from different parts of my tree that are missing but are on the 1861 and 1881. Would be good to know why? Or did B'ham disappear into a back hole? Cheers in advance Kaz

possibly more likely to have been mistrancribed

One family - I couldn't see them... Jess, can you have a go? 1861 Joseph Hadley abt 1833 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Head Birmingham Warwickshire Mary Hadley abt 1836 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Wife Birmingham Warwickshire George Hadley abt 1856 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Son Birmingham Warwickshire Louisa Hadley abt 1861 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Daughter Birmingham Warwickshire Ellen Clarke abt 1848 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Servant Birmingham Warwickshire

Hi Jess Kath and Tracy Tracy kindly found the family above on 1861 but i also have this family I have been trying to locate on the 1871. Henry Hollyoak b c1847 (Canal boatman) Wife Eliza Children Arthur b c 1868 poss. Charles John b c 1871 They came from the Handsworth district of B'ham I have marriage and death cert for Henry (who died in 1877 in Cannock?) Thanks all Kaz

will have a go BUT i hate doing look ups for people born i n big cities for this reason (London is the same) in 1861 they say Birmingham (or London) 1881 they say Birmingham in 1871 when you do eventually track them down they say Solihul or Aston or another suburb.....!! Do you have address for 1861 and 1881 for either family please jess 1861 36 harding(?) St..

Name: Hadley, Ada Record Type: Births Quarter: December Year: 1871 District: Aston County: Warwickshire Volume: 6d Page: 361 (click to see others on page) help at all?

Thanks Jess This is one of their children but I didn't have the birth ref. Cheers Kaz

Kaz, not be faceitious (??) but isnt your canal boatman possibly on a canal on the census night? They used to have the whole family with them helping out so that may be your answer. Try rootsweb site for canal and water people.

Hi Heather Yes you're right, I have considered this and will have a look at the site but his father was also a boatman but lived in same area and his wife did after his death. Thanks for the advice Kaz
