Hi Listers, The 1881 census (RG11,2703,114,50) shows Thomas (32) and Eliza Davies (47) at Peacocks Hay, Audley, with children Frederick, 23, Herbert, 19, Harry, 15, and Evelyn K, 13, all with surname Baskeyfield. I note that on current maps there is a Baskeyfield Farm in that area. This is obviously a second marriage for Eliza, and Staffs BMD shows Eliza Baskeyfield marrying Thomas Davies in 1879. I am keen to find Eliza's first husband, and father of her children, and have a candidate, James Baskeyfield who married Eliza Ryder in 1852. I wonder if someone could kindly check the 1861 to see if Eliza and James Baskeyfield with a child Frederick aged about 3 were listed, also possibly the 1871. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Keith
