Could someone please look up the 1841 census for a Elizabeth Henrietta BOHN, father John BOHN born aka 1835. Not sure where they were. Many thanks Diana in New Zealand

I have Milbro (Milborough) PORTMAN widow, living in Sandlin, Leigh on the 1851 census with Henry son age 25 shoemaker Elizabeth dau age 22 glover Susan JONES Lodger (actually daughter, Susannah PORTMAN) 28 Glover Charles JONES Lodger(Susan’s son) 8 Scholar John JONES lodger (Susan’s son) 3 Scholar Susan’s husband Peter JONES emigrated to America following his conversion to Mormonism in 1844. Susan would not go with him so they were divorced (info from a letter transcript) Charles is Peter’s child, John is not. Are they on the 1861 or later censuses in Alfrick, Leigh or surrounding area. I’m interested in Charles to see whether his descendants survive today. I have a great deal of information I acquired from Peter’s Mormon descendants whom I met on a recent trip to Utah. I found a Charles Jones marriage on FreeBMD for Mar 1866 Martley 6c 273, but don’t know if it’s the same Charles. Any assistance much appreciated.

Hi All read this on another list Mike in Droitwich On a (sort of) related subject I recently found my local library offers free access to Ancestry (and some other subscription services), I gather 10 libraries in Hertfordshire have the free access and some other counties are offering similar arrangements. Perhaps some might find it useful. Bob Borehamwood

Is anyone on the list familiar with the genealogy of the composer Julius Harrison born 1885 Lower Mitton? His father was Walter Harrison, grandfather James Harrison and g-grandfather Thomas Harrison. Thank you Elizabeth Harrison

Ancestry have just about put up the 1851 Census at: http://content.ancestry.co.uk/Browse/list.aspx?dbid=8860&path= It is not yet accessible from the home page at: http://www.ancestry.co.uk/ but will be any time soon I expect . . .

G'day I am new to this list and was wondering whether anyone can help me ... I am looking for a John HARRIS and Mary HOWSLIP/ HOWSHIP John HARRIS married Mary HOWSHIP/ HOWSLIP. They had one child (that I know about): John jr (~1827-1908), born in Eckington John jr emigrated to Australia .... the above details are from his marriage certificate .... On the marriage record of John HARRIS, his mother’s name looks like HOWSHIP. On the Edwardian Index, it is given as HOWSLIP. Does anyone have links to the above? ... or suggestions about where to start? John and Mary HARRIS appear to be very common names ... can I find out about Registrars of Births anywhere? (John sr.'s profession) Apologies for the limited information, but that is all I have ... it is one of my brick walls ....

John Quay Street, definitely existed by 1841- in Bentley's 1840 Directory of WOR - the following names are listed as residents T. Maybury " Old Farrier's Arms" Henry Mansell S Hulland Ann Hulland S Grove " Severn Trow" James Cullis Luke P Maybury " Old Wherry" H Leyland J & J Badham T Stalworth " Queen Caroline" T Taylor A Latham John Griffiths. ( Should have named 'Tavern Street' ) :-) Unfortunately Bentley does not give the Parish /Area I have access to an Index for 1841 if you advise the name you seek I will happily see if wither they had moved, or if the enumerator just hadn't listed the Street name.

Seconded. I deleted it and was waiting for someone to say something about it in plainer terms. BTW, if any of your are looking for Canadian information, our 1911 census was released recently, after a special act of Parliment (under the 1905 Census Act there was no provision for future release) our census information will be released after 92 years. (although starting with 2006 census, there will be a box or something to check off, to prevent ANY future release of your data ... oh well, something to worry about in 2098). http://www.collectionscanada.ca/archivianet/1911/index-e.html Nick

Hello Graham, You've various avenues here from what's held at Worcester History Centre. Eckington's Parish Records Wills Indexes Censuses 1841-1901 Worcestershire Marriages Index [I don't recognise the 'Edwardian Index'] In passing, John Sr was still alive in 1851, aged 63, still in Eckington (where he said he was born), a widower, Registrar of Births and Deaths and Relieving Officer, and recorded with 3 teenage daughters - [HO107/2045/62/141 Index No 210660]. No likely candidate for John Jr, though - who at ~24 might well already have left for Australia. (Gold Rush??) Can't answer your query about Registrars - but he would only have taken that post (at the earliest) in 1837, when Registration was introduced. HTH for starters...

Hi Listers, There was a discussion on the lists a little while ago about the availability of the 1911 census. Is there any more news on it please? Margaret

Hi Listers I would like to say thanks to all those who searched and provided me with the information from the 1901 Census for members of the Trow family, the results were fantastic. The results also revealing another branch of the family, which I will endeavour to find out more about.

I am trying to locate my 2nd great grandfather John MARTIN in the 1861 census. I know that his wife Charity MARTIN (nee PARKHOUSE) was living in Brighton, Sussex in 1861 on her own (with two children visitors - probably relatives on the MARTIN side) John was born c1798 Buscombe, DEV, ENG and John and Charity were married in 1828 in Birmingham and they were living together in 1871 in Yardley, WOR.

Hi John, Quay Street was definitely in existence in 1841 - it's named as such on an 1835 map I've got - and is almost certainly far older than that. It runs due South from the front of All Saints Church to [now South, was then just 'plain.] Quay. Neighbouring streets would be Bridge Street and Hood Street [very short] plus possibly Hares [and/or Hounds] Lane(s) and Warmstry Slip.

Hi Listers In 1871 and 1881 Census records members of the Trow family were living at Chequers Inn, Elmley Lovett, with Martha Henney (their grandmother). It appears that the family remained at Chequers Inn for many years. If SKS has the 1901 Census could I have a lookup done for Harriett Trow (born 1870 Elmley Lovett) and Alice Trow (born 1864 Stratford on Avon, Warwick)? I am hoping they will be living there with other family members. Their brother Frank is listed in the 1920s directory as still having the Inn. Regards Veronica Australia
