WOW! Thank you for the quick reply! I hoped it might be this family, but I lost William in the 1901 census which only seemed to have a William Gauden of the right age, being the son of a Benjamin Gauden. I'm going to continue with the assumption we've got the right family headed by Daniel Gauden and Elizabeth - can anyone help take the family back further? I've found a Daniel Gordon marrying possibly an Elizabeth Pargeter in 1866 - I wondered if they might be of interest or just red-herrings?!

Think I've found possible parents for Daniel Gauden b c 1841; William Gauden b c1821 and Ann b c 1841 on 1841 census, at Engine Lane Old Swinford, Stourbridge. Does anyone have info that would help clarify or move this forward? Many thanks.
-
sorry - Ann should also be born c 1821!

Thanks Claire! The search system I've been using doesn't bring up this family - they don't seem to exist on there - are there more comprehensive and reliable sites you or anyone would recommend I can use in the future?

Hi,
'familysearch.org' is probably one of the largest free sites on the web that I use but some records (submitted) do need checking out, whereas 'extracted' records are usually more reliable
There are lots of subscription based sites which are all very good, I prefer Ancestry and the census records which I've written are from there.
And finally all the good people on here that help each other out- you really can't beat that!!

Claire - you are So right - I'm just amazed at how you have helped with this search - and so quickly! Thank you!

Just wondering if there is anywhere I can get/see/learn about historical info relating to the Lye in the 18th/19th/early 20th centuries? Need easily accessible resources - can't do wheeling around churchyards!

WILLIAM/AMELIA had a Son Benjamin who was Buried 1910, Lye, Worcs age 1
(Eng Deaths/Burials on Familysearch.Org)

Thank you! That has confirmed on of my ? marks. There's some sort of family story about at least one child being killed in a house fire but don't know when. Also passing mention of a Beatrice (who I can't find born as a Gauden anywhere) but think I found a Beatrice (born Stafford c1904) who may have died c1908 but maybe that's all just coincidental. The 1911 census says there were 2 children died by then, leaving 2 others Daniel and Elizabeth - know now that certainly Benjamin would be one of those who had died and he wasn't mentioned to me by what brief family history I started with. Poor child.

Hi Gaudengirl. I think my GG Grandfather, Daniel Gauden, was Williams brother. If you are interested in knowing what I have found during my research please email me personally at (*).
I live in Canada now. My father is descended from Daniel Gauden/James Kendrick and lived in Highley, Shropshire.
Look forward to hearing from you maybe.
