im not certain but the families are similar and its the best i can find. My direct relative is Harriet harding so i know that her father and mother are Thomas and Sarah so im pretty sure the 1871 censusis right. As for the 1881 census,its the best i could find. If somebody can find a better entry then that would be great...

I am struggling a little to find the details of one of my ancestors. Thomas Harding born c. 1849, married Sarah Hughes in 1868 in the County of Salop (which is apparently a old term for Shropshire).

His occupation was a carpenter and he was living at "Monk Hall". His father is called William Harding and he is also a carpenter. I have him in the 1871 and 1881 but I cannot find him in any census entries before the marriage so I cannot find his parents info.

In the 1871 census it is claimed he was born in Birmingham but in the1881 he states he was born in Manchester so I am a little confused and cannot get a birth cert for him! I suppose it is possible that

Any help is greatly appreciated.
