Completed Census Requests / Re: 1891 census-missing BALDRY family

Ah, right. Thanks. I've now picked up James in the 1881 census (birthdate 2 years out but the right parish and the only J Baldry there at the time) I'm not too worried about 2 years, after JOHESHRIA! Can't find him in 71, yet, but I will.

LOL! Me too, but I've submitted the changes. What were the references you included btw? I can only work online and I've not come across them b4.
Thanks again. That missing piece had been driving me batty. Thanks to that and the misspelling of her name AGAIN in the 1901 census (Christiana G) it took me almost 7 hours to get her family sorted. Never woulda found that 1891 ref. without you! Kinda nice, cos it means we now know my grand-dad was named after his father and uncle.

Completed Census Requests / 1891 census-missing BALDRY family
« on: Saturday 15 August 09 18:54 BST (UK) »
I've been working on a problem around my great-grandmother, known as either LILIAN M, LILIANE M, or LILIAN MARY, born 1889 in Ipswich, Suffolk. The only reference I could find was the 1901 census, where she's listed as 'stepdaughter' to the head, WALTER G FINCH. The wife, I assume her mother, is given as CHRISTIANA G, born 1858 in Poplar, London. However, I've now found out this information, which I am fairly sure is right:
CHRISTINA JANE MORRICE was born 1858 in Poplar, London.
JAMES WILLIAM BALDRY married CHRISTINA JANE MORRIS (MORRICE) 1883, London.
In 1889, LILIAN MARY was born. In 1890-91, EDWIN JAMES was born.
JAMES WILLIAM died in the first quarter of 1901. CHRISTINA re-married to WALTER G (GIBBON) FINCH in the same quarter of 1901.
However, my problem is I can't find any reference to JAMES, CHRISTINA, or LILIAN in the 1891 census, which of course would confirm a lot of the above theory before I buy certificates etc. Can anyone advise me on this? Thanks!
