Hi
Would be very grateful if someone could find the family of James and Mary A. Austin on the 1851 census, most probably residing in Lilleshall or the surrounding area. James was born c.1825 and Mary A. c1827. In the 1881 census they are living at 74 New Houses, Lilleshall.
Best wishes

Thankyou very much for taking the time to look up details from both census's for me. Its really helped me unravel all the James and Mary Austins! My GG grandfather James Wood married Mary Austin b.1851, whose parents were James Austin b.1824 and Mary, and James's parents were James Austin b. circa 1786 and Mary. Your help has given me so much more clarity and information to go on. Thanks again.
Best wishes

Hi, there,
I too have Austin's in Lilleshall, I have Mary's and James but with different dates to yours! you are right though, with the same names being used all the time it does get very confusing.
