Hi Peter, Mary Ann Pelling nee Skinner died 15th Sept 1854 about the same time as her youngest son George and two weeks before Dearing. The family is definitely falling apart, son William goes to goal in 1859, Robert (my G Grandfather) joined the army in 1855. (I have not been able to explain that George is born George Alfred and died George Frederick but I put it down to "sorrow") As you say Joseph & Fanny do not appear on the 1861 census but I think I have them in the 1871 census. I was going back to try some "fuzzing" spellings as they must be there somewhere and I am wondering if William, Joseph & Fanny are in a workhouse. I think James is an Errand Boy / servant with his age reduced a couple of years in the 1861 census. I have wondered about a couple of deaths in the "freebmd" for William Pillinger in 1854 & 1857 (Bristol, Clifton & Bedminster) but not sure about outlaying for three death certificates on only a slim possibility. Not yet anyway. Thank you so much for your time and effort. I really appreciate having another look at things, sometimes it turns up nothing but sometimes another can spot something that you have missed.

It's hard to match one census against another or match to death records on FreeBMD. In 1841 there are three William Pelling 1805-1815 entries - one in Gloucestershire and two in Sussex . Snip My apologies if I've caused any anxiety. And we still don't have a logical death for William Peter in Sydney ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to SUSSEX-PLUS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
