Hi, I have found:-
1881, NEWTON IN MAKERFIELD, LANCASHIRE UK
ALFRED JONES (31) BORN CHESTER
ELIZABETH JONES (PRESTON) (30) BORN HELSBY
JOSEPH E (10) BORN BIRKENHEAD OR BIRMINGHAM?
ALFRED H (7) BORN CHORLEY
WILLIAM (6MTHS)
and
1901, BIRKENHEAD, CHESHIRE UK
ALFRED JONES (51) CHESTER
ELIZABETH (40) HELSBY
JOHN (17) SWANSEA
FRANK (15) CARDIFF (MY GRANDAD)
SAML T (12) CARDIFF
VIOLET E (7) CARDIFF
ALBERT F (4) CHORLEY
I have traced back to 1851 and forward to 1911. My problem is that i can't find any sign of this part of my family in the 1891 Census. I know the older children may have moved away but, i can't find any of them. I have also tried on Ancestry with no joy.
I would be grateful for any tips or advice.
