Hi,
I'm looking for David Knox on the 1871 census. I've got him on all the other ones. He was born Oct 1844 in Wooler to parents James and Margaret Knox. In 1861 his address was 295 Cheviot street with his parents, I've located his parents and all of his siblings in the 1871 census but he's not there. The marriage index record for him and his wife Jane Taylor dates Jan-Feb-March 1871, so he'd be married at the time of the census and his firstborn son James Knox was born 1871. I think I've found his wife and son in the 1871 census - in Hetton Northumberland with a 3 month old James Knox, Glendale Wooler district. ED, institution, or vessel: 11, Household schedule number: 3 ,Piece: 5192, Folio: 4 Page Number: 1 - is that how you reference it?
She's down as Jane Knox and Jane Taylor - she's listed as married but as "agricultural labourers wife"?
So, where is he? Is it plausible that he's gone from being a Blacksmiths apprentice to agricultural labourer to a Blacksmith for Bamburgh castle in 1881 and living in Bamburgh?
If he's gone somewhere, it can't have been for too long because the next child I have for them was born in 1873 in Bamburgh.
Any help you can give me would be much appreciated!

If you look at the original census sheet she is clearly Jane Knox

Thank you - I've got both the transcription and the original record to look at on Ancestry, but I was reading from my notes! I'm pretty sure that's her.
