Hi peeps I was wondering if anyone maybe able to shed any light on the where's abouts of one of my grt grt grt grandfather Herbert Wardle he was a brick layer. I have searched high and low for months but he disappears for after 1851 till 1875. Here are the details I have for him, his D.O.B changes a lot on some of the census. I have found a christening for Herbert Wardle 23 Sept 1832 Church of England. 1841 Census - Herbert Wardle b. 1833 Rocester living in Rocester, Staffordshire with his parents and siblings 1851 Census - Herbert Wardle b.1833 Rocester living in Rocester, Staffordshire with his parents and siblings 1875 - Marriage to Emma Ackerly in Hulme Manchester 1881 Census - Herbert Wardle b. 1832 Rocester & Emma living in Manchester with children 1891 Census - Herbert Wardle b.1837 Rocester & Emma living in Manchester with children 1901 Census - Herbert Wardle b.1841 Rocester & Emma living in Manchester with children Also I have found a possible marriage in 1854 to Ellen Norris in Manchester then they show up on the 1861 census in North Meols, Southport with a daughter but then they disappear after 1861 too.

Sharon, You probably know that enumerators commonly rounded off the ages of adults, so don't be surprised to see variances. As far as your family's whereabouts in any particular census year, there is a number of possibilities. The most obvious would be variant spellings of your family's name. As a census transcriber myself, I am aware of how much variance there can be, so don't overlook Waddell, Wardell, Wardlaw, et.c. 'W' sometimes looked like 'H' in handwriting, so could be 'Hardle' , et.c. Unfortunately some people just were not enumerated. I searched years for a family in Scotland and eventually found them in the north of England for the 1881 only.
