Title: look up 1891 and 1901 census for John C Knox & Esther Knox (nee Barnes)
Post by: gilyat on Monday 16 February 09 14:48 GMT (UK)
I have hit a brick wall with this family because I cannot find them on the 1891 census or the 1901 census, yet they were alive at that time.
John C. Knox was born in Sculcoates . Hull Yorkshire in 1846 and died in Seaham Durham in 1929 (reg district Easington)
He was married to Esther  Knox (nee Barnes) who was born in Heath Derbyshire, in 1846 and died in Seaham Durham in 1918 (reg district Easington)
Could anyone please help me find both the census recording these people, who are my great, great grandparents, or point me in the right direction!
Thank you.

 ;D

The link is huge  :-\    Just put those numbers in the bottom, or look for Esther Knop  1846 Derbyshire  -   ;D

The X in Knox on the image is the weirdest X I have ever seen  -  no wonder they got mis -transcribed  :-\

You really are superb! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH! 
How did you find it? Did you type in KNO* ? is that how one uses a wildcard, because I'm not sure how to do that.
I've been looking for months! I cannot tell you how grateful I am!
 :D

I didn't use the  * wildcard -  that often brings up far too many possibilities  :-\

I used Esther  (more unusual than John),  left the surname blank, 1846, Derbyshire, Heath.

It usually works  -  pick the most unusual name  ;)  and providing the other information has been correctly entered  -  bingo   ;)

Of course - if the other information isn't correct - then you can leave out more - you don't have to fill in all the fields  ;)

Thank you so much. I have found both censuses! Now to look for John C Knox in 1851 and I then have them both complete, which is all thanks to you. I much appreciate it. I should have come here first!
