Find Ancestors

In the 1851 census I have John Strong born abt 1803 ish living at Redfield, Bath Rd Bristol. Living with him are his children James, John and Mary Ann. Elizabeth Hurtine and her children George and John are visitors. Both John and Elizabeth are widows.
In 1861 John is married to Betsy and George and John are Strong's. I think they must have married but cant find a marriage on bmd between 1851 & 1861. Has anyone time to see if they can find anything
Thanks

Ah, so you think Elizabeth Hurtine married him - yes? Will have a quick look.

No sign on freebmd - have you found her with that name in previous census?

There is a marriage Dec Qtr in Bristol 11 189 and there is one female missing.

Maybe someone will be able to check the full indexes to see if Elizabeth is the missing one.

Thanks everyone. Its given me something to look into. I did a search on George (Elizabeths son) and for some reason in 1851 census there are 2 enteries exactly the same.
Once again thanks for your help

Im sure it must be me, but I cant find them in 1851 - ?

I searched under John Strong born abt 1803 Heather, sorry just noticed its Hurstine, missed the s out

Not convinced on the spelling for Elizabeth and family

in the 1851 shes down as b 1812. and in the 1861 down as b 1821?

The Strong family have been a pain in the butt! I just seem to go round in circles! Thanks for helping me out

Thank gawd for that, thought I was going loopy! So not 1803. Is that his brother, Robert, next door?

Not sure thats the right name for her - can we find anyone with that surname in a previous census or marriage?

Yes its his brother and wife Sarah Ashman. I got John and Roberts birth when some one kindly checked the baptism records

I cant find the two boys births either with that name. I think thats the root of the prob. If we could work out what it should be ........

Just wondering if the surname is Hurlstone?

do you think the first 4 letters could be hunst***

Still no sign of the boys births with that name though. Nor Hunstone

there is a death 1874 of a george strong in glou,,born 1846.. but knowing if he used the strong name or "hurstine"?

Ive just asked for more eyes on FTF.

Thanks Heather, Im still trying different surnames

I've been trying lots of different surnames aswell looking for the boy's births but can't come up with anything.

So annoying isn't it?

Its driving me mad!! Im off to work now so will check back in later
