Happy New Year to All I am in a bit muddle about an entry on Ancestry. To make it clear, I have included the Census' 1851, 1861, 1871 and the marriage entry of Harriet SAXTON to whom I am referring too. I was just checking the 1881 on Ancestry before I got any certificates and someone has put a correction in (well I think it is a correction?) There is no other marriages or deaths for my Harriet SAXTON between 1861 and 1881. Would some kind person be able to look at the original and see if they can work it out please? Will be subscribing to Ancestry in the next few weeks when I have got together what I want to check on the site.

Hello Doreen, The 1881 census clearly describes Henry Broomhead, 45, Lacemaker. born Chesterfield, as the father of the head of household - 33 year old Harriet Ball. This clearly seem most unlikely, but is why someone has written 'Broomhead' as an alternative name. In 1871 36 year ld Henry Broomhead is in Bunker's Hill, Macclesfield Cheshire with an 18 year old wife, Ann. I would suggest that you are quite right in thinking this is your Harriet in 1881, and that the enumeratior has the wrong relationship for Henry Broomhead.

The 1881 census has Henry BROOMHEAD - recorded as Broomhand - in Macclesfield with his wife Ann. The ages and birthplaces fit, so this is the same Henry BROOMHEAD as recorded on the 1871 census in Macclesfield. There appears to be two people called Henry BROOMHEAD, both born around 1833-1835 in Chesterfield. On the 1861 census, there is Henry BROOMHEAD, age 26, born Chesterfield, Lace worker, lodging with William and Ann PEET, in Independent Street, Radford, Nottingham. Ann PEET is recorded as born in Chesterfield, and this led me to find a marriage between William Westmoreland PEET and Ann BROOMHEAD, in Nottingham in the Oct-Dec 1859 quarter. So this Henry is lodging with his sister and brother in law. Just to show that there are definitely two Henry's, I found the "other one" on the 1861 census, age 33, born Chesterfield, as an ag. Lab in Congleton, Cheshire. This ties in with the Henry later on in nearby Macclesfield. However, on checking the 1891 census I found Henry BROOMHEAD, age 56, born Chesterfield, Lacemaker in Marple Street Nottingham married to Harriet. Her age is given as 41, which is a couple of years out. Also there is a son Harry age 26 who I can't place, though a daughter of Harriet's, also Harriet, does match. It looks like Henry and Harriet had their own children, but search as I may I can't find a marriage. So in Summary, it looks like Henry BROOMHEAD was a lodger in 1881 with Harriet, and maybe more, but definitely not her father. Sorry but I don't have the time at the moment to trace them any further, but hope this helps.
