I am trying to locate my grandmother's siblings, five of them; all in the 1901 and 1911 census
but none to be found in the 1891 Census - then all aged between 4 & 9 years. Born between
1882 and 1887.
Can anyone suggest an answer?

If you provide names, dates of birth roughly and parents names + area they were born someone is sure to help you. Probably surname is just mis-transcribed on 1891 Census.
Cheers,
Trish

Thanks for the suggestion,
The Family name is Stevens. Parents were Walter Bifield and Rose Anna
Hubert William Byfield b. 1882 in Peckham
Dorothy Katherine b. 1883 in Peckham
Gladys Hilda b. 1885 in Peckham
Muriel Ethel b. 1886 in Kingston (My grandmother)
Mabel Louise Annie b. 1887 in Wimbledon.
My Grandmother used to tell me the family grew up in Wimbledon, but I havn't been able
to verify that - or locate an address.
By 1901(Census) they are all living with their Father in Walworth, borough of Southwar
I should be able to locate them in the 1891 census, but no luck so far.
Any help would be warmly appreciated. J.S

Staying with a relative on census night ?
My grandmother went missing from the 1881 census, and I eventually found her, lodging with 3 of her sisters, next door to her uncle & aunt. Presumably they didn't have room to put them up, so they stayed with a neighbour. That's why I feel it's important to do a little "sideways research", because it helps you find things like that :)

Hi there
Can't quite work out if it is just the children you have lost in 1891 or the parents as well?
I've found a curious family in Streatham:
RG12 Piece 456 Folio 142 page 46.
What was the father's occupation in 1911 and where/when was he born?
Regards
Kirstie

Hi there, me again.
Just found Walter B in 1861, (RG9/780/108/8). Looks like the William in 1881 was the grandfather, with a second wife.
Regards
Kirstie

Hi Kirstie,
I have been trying to find them also.
Well done if you have found it Kirstie ;D ;D
Have to go to bed and have just signed out of Ancestry, but from memory, 1901 Walter.B. Stevens and most of the children work in the printing trade and Walter is a widower aged 44.
Even trying to find a death of Rose Anna Stevens between 1887-1891 was hard :(
No Rose Anna's fit and they only one I think is possible is;
Rose Annie Stevens in Hampshire 1888 ::) aged 27.
Trish ( 3.00 am here ::))
Will check out what you found tomorrow ;)

Well done IAN ;D ;D ;D
Was just about to get looking for mistranscriptions of name and found you had done it 8)
Cheers,
Trish

I do appreciate the help from everyone. Yes got the right family now.
I have been trying to locate an address in Wimbledon for ages.
The last named Phoebe is almost certainly Mabel Louise Annie b. 1887
I see mistranscribed as Steves or stevers.
You are a smart lot. I am still a novice at all this and I don't know where I'd be without
so many rootschatters taking the time to help.
So much appreciated.

I think we are related!
My grandfather was Walter Bifield Stevens. He married for a second time in 1901 to Myra Ellinor Harris and my father was the eldest of their three children.
I've only just found rootschat and your enquiry made me join up!

Hello Aussie Di.
that would be amazing. Walter Bifield Stevens 1856-1815 was my Great Grandfather. His fist marriage to Rose Anna
Roe 1851-1898(Born at Dughshai, India) to William and Catherine Roe ended with her death in 1864. He did then marry
again Myra Ellinor Harris in 1901. She was born in 1876.
My records only show two children Leonard Walter born in 1908 and George born in 1911.
Walter and Rose had 6 chidren, one of whom was my grandmother Muriel Ethel Stevens(1997-1970) Her daughter
Frances Rose(1911-2007) was my Mother.
I have been working on family history for some years now and making slow progress. I do have lots more information
to share if you are interested. I am in Brisbane Australia.

This is going to sound a really silly question: are you in Brisbane now, or overseas?
I have had a begging email purporting to come from you.
Have sent you a fairly detailed email of my side of the family (also giving my married name) but no response from you. Have we got a problem?
Di

Yes a problem. I 've had to change my e-mail address due to a hacking problem, but I can't post the new one here.
And looking at the ''help' pages I can't seem to find out how to noticy rootschat
administration. Any ideas what to do now.
Yes I do live in Brisbane, Australia j.s

You tale does not suprise me.
I have an ancestor who although age 8 at the time of 1901 census does not appear on any census return, and I did not know about her until she suddenly turned up age 18 living with her parents. Also on the 1881 none of her 3 brothers appeared either and it was not until I found the 1891 census for this family that I found that the "childless" couple actually had children. But now I know better & have managed to obtain certs for all children.
I do wonder if some of either our ancestors or the enumerators got a bit confused and only named the adults living at an address. Or a neighbour gave details of parents but did not bother naming the children.
Good luck with you search
