I've also looked for all males (no surname, no christian name) born 1845 +/- 1yr. in Keevil, Wiltshire.
Living anywhere in England and came up with six, but none the correct one!!

I think it is most likely that the census is lost. Or they have mispelt Douse. I have tried just the first names and years of birth to see if I could find them that way too. Now how else could Douse be spelt or mistranscribed????????/

Dowse, Dowes, Doose, Drose...................................

If his brother Obediah disappeared then could be he emigrated, so maybe they went to visit him?

Hi ,
That would be Dorothy a distant cousin of mine in America.
Thanks for all your help, sometimes all it needs is a fresh pair of eyes. I wonder if there are some census returns for 1881 missing? Maybe they were destoyed or something. I will keep looking though as I would like to find the missing piece. I will have another look at the records abroad maybe they went for a holiday (unlikely but worth a go).
Thanks again

Yes that is him, I wondered that as well so had a look and couldn,t find him I even tried under the wifes maiden name and did,nt find him there either, this is really bugging me! His brother Obediah did the same as well (well actually he totally disapeared ) so it annoying when you have a jigsaw with poeces missing!

If this is the birth for Abraham:-
Births Dec 1845 (99%)
Douse Abraham Collier Westbury 8 413
The district Westbury is in the county of Wiltshire

then maybe he is hiding under his middle name?

Arana

Arana Report 19 Feb 2009 13:01

I have birth certs for
Sarah Jane born 25 kings cross rd, pancras 1877
Caroline ada (known as ada) born 46 kings cross rd, pancras 1885
Henry george born 25 kings cross road, pancras1873
although one cert says holborn camberwell (caroline ada)
I don,t where they went in 1881 I,m beginning to wonder if they went for a trip in the Tardis!!

The only Sarah Jane I can find is the following:-
Births Sep 1876 (>99%)
Douse Sarah Jane Devizes 5a 92
The district Devizes is in the county of Wiltshire

which is possible as both parents were from Wiltshire!

Catherine

Catherine Report 19 Feb 2009 12:48

Caroline Ada was born in the district of Holborn, so could be that one of the other children was James Henry?

Births Mar 1885 (>99%)
DOUSE Caroline Ada Holborn 1b 759

Births Dec 1891 (>99%)
Douse James Henry Holborn 1b 651

The district Holborn spans the boundaries of the counties of London and Middlesex

LIving in London area.
Children are
Henry George born 1873 Clerkenwell
Sarah Jane born 1877 Clerken well
Caroline Ada Born 1885 Clerkenwell
