Please could someone help me, I have been chasing my tail for hours and am now wondering if my family are just not listed on the 1891 census
I have
Hannah Adeline Bayley
Registration Year: 1889
Registration Quarter: Jan-Feb-Mar
Registration district: Hereford Herefordshire
Volume: 6a
Page: 488
and
George Henry Bayley
Registration Year 1883
Registration district Hereford Herefordshire
Volume: 6a
Page: 487
But I don't seem to be able to trace either of them any further forward, I know Hannah subsequently called herself Adeline and her married surname was Thomas (possible husband's name David??) and George went into the British army in 1900 so isn't on the 1901 census but I can't find either of them in 1891 nor a record of Hannah/ Adeline's marriage to Mr Thomas.
Could anyone spare time to see if I am looking for something which just isn't there. Thanks everso in advance

Hello,
Do you know their parents names?
There is a George 6 yrs and an Annie 3 yrs with several siblings and parents George and Elizabeth Bailey in Hereford at 1891 2063/98/7
Regards

Yes, thank you I have seen that one and ATM don't have parent's names. I will send for Hannah Adeline's BC next week, I wondered if Adeline was Annie but it seems so far fetched that you would name a child Hannah Adeline and then call her Annie that I really discounted them!
-
Where do you have them?
-
Hi Lizzielogs -
The family are mistranscribed on the 1891 census as 'Bagley' - they are living at 'The Laurels', Eywas Harold, Hereford. :)
-
If the head of the household may have been Luke, then try Bagley as a possible mistranscription. There is a Bagley family with a Hannah and a George of about the right age in Ewyas Herold/Harold in Herefordshire.

Looks like my post and Mrs. Tenacious crossed. Increases the likelihood of it being the right folks when we have both arrived at it independently :)
-
That looks better! I was just going to check them also :)
-
Oh goodness, thank you all so much, you have saved me having to buy a wig.
Thank you, thank you, thank you xxxx
-
Don't suppose you can apply the same magic and find Hannah's marriage certificate?!
Too cheeky??
-
you have saved me having to buy a wig.
;D ;D ;D You're most welcome :)

Have found Hannah on the 1911 Wales census:
Again mistranscribed (!) as Hannah BAZLEY - Cook/dom Servant to August Blundell, Clerk in holy Orders, address Llanvihangel Crucorney, Monmouthshire.
No luck yet with a marriage.
-
Again, Thank you Mrs T.
A little bit of the story Hannah (unmarried I assume) had a child in 1919 Barbara Irene Thomas whose BC I have knowledge of and the mother is named as Adeline Thomas nee Bayley.
The child Barbara was given to Hannah's brother George and his wife Adelaide (confusing similarity in names) who brought her up as their own, the truth only came out sometime around 1950 (vague family memory) when Hannah Adeline died (I can't find a DC for Hannah Adeline either!)
*sigh&
-
Never give up - sometimes it just takes a little (or much more) time!
One thing that crossed my mind when finding Hannah in Wales in 1911 is that David Thomas is a particularly Welsh name. Where was Barbara born?
Good luck with it all :)

-
Barbara Irene Thomas was born in Lambeth 1919 - Hannah probably/ possibly got pregnant by a Welsh lad and scurried back to UK to be near family? In 1911 George was living in Colchester.
-
That's a possibility, but one that you are unlikely to ever find out.
Nevertheless, keep digging! :)
-
Do you have Barbara´s birth certificate?
-
Hi Craclyn, no not in my hand. I am in Spain and the BC is in the UK, I am waiting for someone to send me the details from it.
-
.......... however, I believe it says father unknown.
