Title: Having Trouble With My Neighbours *COMPLETED*
Post by: SeaThreePeeO on Saturday 30 November 13 14:40 GMT (UK)
I think I need a fresh set of eyes as I must be missing something.

I'm currently researching the Neighbour family of Maidenhead, Berkshire, namely the family of John and Jane Neighbour, nee Willis.  I am having trouble finding them on the 1871 Census.  John and Jane married in Henley in 1862, they had a son Joseph born in Henley in 1863, another son Walter in 1867 in Aldershot, Hampshire and another son Henry born in Aldershot in 1871.

John was born in 1842 in Hambledon, Buckinghamshire and Jane was born in Hambledon also in 1844.

I can find everyone pre and post 1871.

They're probably right under my nose, could someone kindly point them out for me?

any help most gratefully received.

Jane    27 bn Buckinghamshire
Joseph    7 bn Buckinghamshire
Walter    3 bn Aldershot
Henry    10 Months bn Aldershot
Anne    77 it says dtr but is probably mother

FindMyPast has it as Mahone which it looks like but the rest fits even down to the elderly Ann   ::)

Oh, thank you, thank you.

I've been going nuts trying loads of variations and different places of birth etc. I never would have found them without your help.
