Title: Onions in the 1891 census.
Post by: enots on Sunday 13 June 10 19:52 BST (UK)

Hello everyone,

 Would someone be able to help me and find a Herbert Onions and his wife Martha in the 1891 census please?

They should be in the Loughborough area. I would love to find out if they had children and where they lived.

                                                         Thanks from Enots. :)

With that amount of information, when you really must have the 1881 or 1901 to provide more detail, I must have been mad to look - but I did

It's always appreciated if you give details of whatever information you have as a family unit is generally easier to search for than just two names with no birth dates.

Hi, this is a bit of a long shot as you posted this so long ago but wondered if you found out any more info on the onions family? Looking for info on Emily onions born 1895. She was Herbert and Martha's daughter.
Thanks in advance

Hello Chook01,

         Thanks for your post. I am very sorry that I can't help you with your query.

It turns out that my request was for the wrong family, as my Herbert as given out 3 different birth dates while living in Canada.
                   Kind regards from Enots.

Later she is single and still at home with a bunch of siblings and widowed father.  Assuming you may have a subscription, check the name Owins rather than Onions.

Hi Mary, thanks for the reply. Was that info from the 1911 census? ( Emily at 15yrs). I know she was in Sheffield in 1921 but can't find her after that. I have a marriage to a john t Harley in 1932 but I don't know if it's the same emily. Where does the name owins come in? Any info greatfully received. I had a subscription to ancestry but need to renew.

Yes it was, but not sure of the copyright rules whether they have changed for the 1911 census so I won't post the details.

Ancestry have them mistranscribed as Owins.  Your local library may well have a subscription to Ancestry you could use - don't forget to take a flashdrive with you, saves printing out.
