Hi all, I wonder if someone might be able to help me - I am on the trail of Walter John Withers (m. Eliza Gillo Jun 1852 Droxford). From Cristening records I can see they had the following children, all christened in Hambledon:
Walter (1852)
James (1854)
Betsey (1856)
Alice (1857)
Edward Gillo (1859)
Eliza (1865)
Annie Lydia (1874)
I have been trying to find them in the 1861 census but to no avail - can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Many thanks in advance!
Laura

Many thanks for everyone's help - I will go off for a little while and investigate and try and put all the pieces together - I had also been having trouble working out why the two boys seemed to be away from their parents in the 1871 census. I had seen that Betsey had died, so couldn't follow that up!
I tend to try and find out as much about the children as I can, and then if I can't find the parents I try and trace the children as sometimes it can turn out someone is staying with a relative etc, but I've hit a block with Walter J and Eliza, so thanks again for your help!
