Member Since: February 2006 Posts: 36 Send Message	All I can suggest is trial and more trial, keep looking at all the possibles, and eliminate the ones that dont tick all the boxes for you, if the folks are in the places that you expect them to be living, with the right partners and the right children- look for unusual names that often helps.Although all the rules dont necessarily fit every time you get a feel for it, a kind of 6th sense.Look at all the possible censuses,the BMD's, cross reference the names, and if most of it fits , then possibly you are there Good Luck anyway Carmen

Member Since: January 2005 Posts: 50 Send Message	Ok Linda, fair enough I spose, but like you say, they look to have just got it wrong on one of them. How would I now go about finding out about Annie, the spouse. Obviously, I don't know her maiden name, so can't go on that, and I'm guessing she is born in 1871, as her age seems to have changed correctly with the census? Any tips at all please? Emma
