Have been on the Scots people site and no James Sawmays come up in 1891 or 1901 cenus in fact there was only 11 match for samways surname in 1891 and 1901 cenus 18 match's. I dont know whether it is worth paying and viewing this matches at all?

Alice is living as a servant showing as married at South Ham Farm, Worting Road, Basingstoke, Hampshire in 1901 Cenus with one of her sons.

Of course dont know have the 1911 cenus to hand but pretty sure she says married again here. I have her death in which it says wife of James Samways Farm Bailiff.

But on Archibald James Samways marriage certificate 08/05/1911 he refers to Father as deceased -but whether that was in his eyes, not physically I dont know.

No had not even thought to look at Scotland -how stupid

Have you checked the Scottish census?


Is Alice shown as married in 1901 and 1911?

Hi

I am wondering if anyone can help me in my quest to find James Samways born 1858 Avington, Hampshire after the 1881 Census prior to and including this I have found him living with his family. But from 1891-to 1911 I am unable to find James Samways -I am able to find his wife and children but he is not living with them in any of them.

James Samways was married in 1874 at Litchfield Parish Church to Alice Mary Prince and they had three children together the youngest being my Great Grandfather Archibald James Samways who was born on the 23/02/1888 at Cuttenham, North Newnton, Wiltshire and this birth was registered by his Father in March 1888, a Farm Bailiff after this date I can however not find him.

I contacted the Wiltshire record office and they have informed me that James Samways was first mentioned at Cuttenham in 1891 Eastern/ Devizes Electrol Roll. He is however not on the 1891 cenus at Cuttenham and he is not living with his wife and family whom are living with her parents in Litchfield, Hampshire in 1891 Cenus.

Can anyone please do a search of the Eastern/Devizes Electrol Roll from 1891 -onwards and inform me when he is there till? Can anyone find him? I would be very greatful for all the help and assistance. I know an awful lot about his wife and children but pratically nothing about James -including not being able to find his death.

Thank you in advance and Best Wishes for Christmas

Joanna
