Hi listers, Just realised I made 2 mistakes - one was my vague subject line, the other was that Timothy HILL was actually born in Stinchcombe though several siblings were born in Cam. Kind regards, Cathy

Hi listers, I just had to make a comment to people who would appreciate it (that doesn't happen here at home). This week I was looking for the family of Charles and Matilda HILL on Ancestry for the 1861 census. I had them in earlier and later censuses(censii?) so I knew they had to be somewhere. I found them under the surname FLITCROFT. How would that happen I hear you ask? Well when I checked the original image that was the name of the family in the house before them. It states HILL quite clearly on the image. Luckily it didn't take me too long to find as I used Matilda's information with no surname but I so nearly didn't check the entry because I could not imagine how FLITCROFT could be mistranscribed from HILL. They were residing in Lancashire in 1851 and 1861. For the record Timothy was from Cam(in the 1851 census his place of birth is given as Cambridgeshire, Gloucestershire), christened in 1812, parents Charles HILL and Hannah SPRATT and Matilda ORGAN was from North Nibley. As yet I haven't found her birth/christening record. Timothy was a younger brother to my ggg grandmother Lois BRUTON (nee HILL). Kind regards, Cathy in coastal Queensland., Australia.

Hi Cathy, I've had a problem finding a family in the 1891 census. The whole family had been living in the same general area for the 1841, 1851,1861,1871,1881 & 1901 census. I've concluded that there is a transcription error and have tried just searching under christian names with no surname but so far no luck. So I can fully understand your frustration. It is possible to notify Ancestry of these errors in transacription and they will ammend their records.

Can anyone help me to find out where my grandfather is buried? I know when he died and where he died, and I checked the records of the local church and Cirencester Grave Site or Cemeteries office did a search for me and couldn't find a record for him. What do I do next? Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated. Thank you. Sonia in NJ USA

It is > difficult to do it from Canada Hi Mike, Presumably, you already have the 1859 birth certificate of the son, Frederick COLE, as you know the mother's name was Elizabeth BAKER. If you don't have it, there's a possible match on www.freebmd.org.uk Frederick COLE was registered in the December quarter of 1859 in Clifton 6a 119. If you do have the birth certificate, let the list know the address in Clifton where Frederick was born and the occupation of his father, Frederick. This may help in finding the 1861 census entry if the COLE family was still in Clifton in 1861. On the Free BMD web site, there is a match for a marriage of a Frederick COLE with a possible bride Elizabeth BAKER. THis marriage was registered at Tetbury in the June quarter of 1859. I see that there was a Frederick William COLE in the 1851 Tetbury census who was 17 years old and whose occupation was 'App Taylor'. This would give an approximate birth date of 1834. However, the Elizabeth BAKER who was a servant in Tetbury at the time of the 1851 census was 20 years old so born c. 1831, which would not be such a good match for the 1836 year of birth which you have given. Perhaps this match is a red herring, but maybe worth pursuing if nothing else turns up.

Hello Listers I have just spent a day in the Bristol Reference Library ( limited success with some specific family history queries) and came across some interesting resources which may be helpful to some. Expierienced researchers will know this already but............... The Bristol Reference Library holds actual Bristol directories for almost every year from 1820 which list professionals, traders, streets and much else. You can also consult , on microfilm, copies of most local newspapers going back to the early 1800's. In particular you can look at almost all editions of the CLIFTON CHRONICLE AND DIRECTORY , published weekly from 1852 (?) to the end of that century, with, every week, a list of all residential addresses in Clifton together with the names ( usually just surname and initials) of the principal adult occupants plus a surname index - a very useful resource for Clifton research, especially when used with census and BMD records. I would be happy for someone to copy this to the Bristol & Avon list - I am not a member at present. Ian ianlogan@btopenworld.com

Hi, If anyone has the 1861 census for gloucestershire would you be able to look up for AQUILLA DANIELS she would be about 36 and was born in sandhurst gloucestershire if you can who is she with and where is she living. many thanks in advance. _________________________________________________________________ Click Here To Find Your Perfect Match This Valentines! http://msnuk.match.com/

Mind you, given that one cannot use a wild card in the first three letters of a forename or surname, the contortions i.e. lateral thinking, that one has to go through to find some in the censuses does stretch the old grey matter from time to time. Still, I reckon it keeps me sane (ish?) and keeps the brain (sort of) tuned up! Some of the lines and marks drawn after the enumerator has "done his thing" make reading difficult at times.

Jeff Folks, I, too, can live with most of the horrific transcription errors in <www.ancestry.co.uk> Having all the censuses from 1841 to 1901 for less than a single London red bus ride (now 2 GBP unless one uses an oyster card or, like me, a Freedom Pass) is worth having. I now have accumulated nearly 1,000 images One tip, though, if one is looking for a man called George. For some reason, literally tens of thousands of men with this as one of their forenames, have it/them transcribed as GEROGE. [ Believe me, I searched for just GEROGE no surname! It took yonks! ] Even, in some cases, one sees GEROGE GEORGE. <grin> You would think that some one, somewhere in the Ancestry hierarchy would have spotted that!

I appreciate the tip on "George" as I have been searching for my George COX over a year without success. I'll try your spelling of it! Does anyone out there have any personal information on the George COX, officiating minister in the FOD? Just want to rule him out and I haven't been able to find anything on him either. Thank you.

(With which they pester us?) Phil Wouldn't want to get caught with your participle dangling. <VBG> As for transcription errors, Ancestry definitely does not corner the market on that. Try working with a church index that was originally written in French between 1750 and 1850 that had been transcribed by a high school French class for extra credits. I had to spend almost of my free research time for three years going back to the original French records and redoing the baptismals, marriages and burials of my Page line.
