Hi. I'm hoping someone can help me untangle what is starting to look like a messy web! I'm trying to trace a branch of my tree back and I know that my Gx3 grandmother was Henrietta Ousey, born in 1858 in Cheshire (sometimes listed as Dukinfield, sometimes as Stalybridge as the borders changed) and later went on to marry George Bardsley. They had three children, Samuel (1881), Nellie (1884) and Leonard (1888). Trying to get further back than Henrietta is becoming a nightmare. I have found a possible birth record, which lists no father's name but lists the mother as Jane Ousey. However, I have also found what is a likely match on the 1891 census where she is resident at Cross Leech Street, Dukinfield with her three children. the head of the household is Sarah and Henrietta is listed as her granddaughter but is too old to be so, and I think is more likely to be her sister. Ellen Ousey on this census record would then be her mother, and not Jane as is listed in the birth record. The 1871 census also shows Henrietta as a likely sister of Sarah, also at Cross Leech Street but the head of the household is Jane! I'm really rather confused so if anyone can pull the threads apart and make any sense at all I'd be so grateful. Massive thanks in advance to anyone who can help. Dawn

It's easier just to transcribe the census(es) that you have found rather than have us read your interpretations of them.
try starting from that point.

the 1891 (minnie m) 10-y-old granddaughter is the daughter of an "eliza ousey"

In addition to the baptism, there is also this record - "Record Type = Other"?!

Quotes a father as Samuel, and a mother as Jane Woodard.
