¿ªÔÆÌåÓýLin The 1861 census was possibly the worst kept of all the census returns and certainly in the 1950s if you went to the Public Records Office to look at the census you would have been given the original book to look at. ? So, there are many books with missing pages at the beginning and end due to handling and many missing in the middle where they were pulled out. ? I have many families where I can¡¯t find them in 1861 ? Interestingly I checked your Hiram in the GROs own indexes an it has his mothers maiden name as Simpson not Atkinson ¨C I assume he is the one born in Dewsbury RD ?

I cannot find them on1861 census. ? I would imagine that were some between 1857 and 1862. 1911 census says she had 11 children - (I've found seven of them). 6 living. ? They had two children I am sure of in Hopton - George Thomas in 1862 (not on GRO but have his baptism) and Hiram b 1864. Both were baptised on the same day in 1864.? James is now William James. ? Between 1869 and 1872 he appears to be known as Joseph STEAD. Joseph is on 1871 census, 36, coal miner, place of birth not known, Hannah, 28, born Monk Bretton*, George T STEAD, 9, Hiram STEAD and Ernest STEAD. ? Mary Ellen STEAD daughter of Joseph and Hannah (ATKINSON) was born Court 13 Shambles St in 1872. When she married in 1895 her surname is SYKES, father James SYKES (deceased). Witnesses were Hiram and Annie SYKES ? James SYKES died 6 June 1875 at Court 13 Shambles St, Barnsley. Hannah was the informant. ? *Hannah was baptised in Wragby, Yorkshire in 1837, daughter of George and Anne . On 1871-1911 censuses she gives her birth place as Monk Bretton. Yorkshire]. ? Hannah SYKES married George ROLLINGS in 1877. ? In 1917 Hannah was murdered by her daughter Annie STEAD. ? Any help in locating them in 1861 would be gratefully received. ? Lin ? ? |
