Rather than take you down the wrong route I think it might be best to start off with what you know is correct and work backwards. So which of their children are you descended from?

im descended from sarah barnett and thomas wells

im descended from sarah barnett and thomas wells

Yes, but which of their children? The reason why I ask is that we need to make sure that we have found the right family in the census so that we can work backwards.

ok benjamin wells there son he married a jane surname unsure on benjamin was born 1869 my greatgrandparents x2

That's great ....so it looks like the 1881 census that Shirley has given is correct

yes i have quite a lot on the wells side of the family and thank you for the help im am not too good with computers and pressing the right things lol

I know what you mean ....me too! Unfortunately, I'm going to have to go now but perhaps Shirley or someone else can look for you

thank you again all the best
