Hi and a Happy New Year to all I have a little mystery and am hoping that someone can help me to solve it. I have William & Elizabeth RUDKIN, with Tom all present and accounted for in 1851 census. Newtown Linford, Leicestershire. Then I have William, Elizabeth with children Sarah Ann, Helen, Vere all present and accounted for in 1871 census in Ulverscroft. Tom is no where to be seen In 1881 Elizabeth is dead; William, Sarah Ann and Vere are all happily still in Ulverscroft, Tom is still no where to be seen. The problem is .... in the census for 1861 they have all disappeared ( at least I can't find them and believe me I have tried). If there is someone on the list who can help me to find this elusive family, I would be most grateful. cheers Linda LRFHS Member #F0298; SAG Member #4825; WAGS Member #10490 researching - ASTON - Staffordshire UK; BILLINGTON - Belgrave, Leicestershire & WA; BROWN - Middlesex, England; CONNOR - Philipstown, Co.
