Ron, You may be looking only in Worcestershire. You need to look at all the census records that he should be in and cross check details for consistency. For example, in 1861 he is at Bilston, Staffs shown as a miner, nephew of widow Louisa Eldershaw & married. So he looks to be away from home. Perhaps his aunt was only recently widowed. In 1871, he is with wife Sarah. Their eldest child is 9, which suggests to me he only married just before 1861. Find his marriage and all his children on FreeBMD and confirm what you find in census records. You often find other children that perhaps died in infancy. Think about Louisa Eldershaw. She has to be his father's sister. Looking back at 1851, Louisa is with husband William Eldershaw. IGI has a marriage of William Eldershaw and Louisa Bridge in 1823. Further, Louisa was born 1803 and christened 1808 to parents Samuel and Ann. So by looking sideways, we find Andrew's grandparents. Unfortunately, there is no obvious record of other children to Samuel & Ann or of Andrew's birth. There are possible user submissions for a marriage of Samuel Bridge & Ann (Stott or Holt) in Bury Lancashire Who knows? I do know that there were lots of Lancashire records not given to LDS. You need to access these by parish on Lancashire OLPC. Try to locate Samuel's marriage under Bury and see what data it has. Then look for children born in Bury. Peter in Sydney
