Title: 1851 census look up please
Post by: suziq on Saturday 15 August 15 17:38 BST (UK)

Hi
Can some kind person put me out of my misery please.....
I've "lost" William and Harriet James, their years of birth are 1813 and 1820 respectively and they were both born in Tewkesbury.  Their children Mary and George are with Harriet's mother but I would like to find the parents!
Thank you.
Suziq

Hi Trish
I think the Barnes are just a coincidence (unfortunately). Thank you to you and Capetown for the other information.

As he's a waterman, maybe they dropped the kids off at their grandparents and set off for a long journey down river for the week (or a bit longer) and so couldn't be bothered with form-filling as they saw their home as being their boat at that stage of their lives.

Yes I think you are right and the Barnes are a 'red herring' as I have found them in 1841.

StanleyChestertons scenario is a likely one I think :)
