1881/1891 census Charles M. CHILD b. Hants

[AnnmarieB]

In 1871 - Charles M CHILD (aged 23) was living at home with dad in Upper Clatford, Hants (dad = Rev Thomas Child, Rector of Upper Clatford & Rural Dean)
Charles is listed as Attorney and Solicitor. But I can't  find him after that!  Can someone see him in 1881/91?
He was born in Appleshaw, Hants.

 hI Annmarie.....right i have followed this charle's family for so long now i feel like they're  are part of my tree....and you are right he is nowhere to be found. In the 81 Thomas has another two of his sons with him one of which is unmarried at 34. There are grandaughters Grace and Isobel but they belong to Alfred and his wife Catherine.Elizabeth Fielder is the sister of Thomas's wife  Catherines  sister, Emily Edwards  is also visiting the house at that time. But at the same time over in  Appleshaw there are three more Child children staying in the house of Charles Edwards (farmer). Gerald 10,Mabel 11, and Ethel 6 visitingalong with Eliza Paice who was always the Governess in the Edwards Household. I tried to find if these children could belong to Charles and started tracking backwards. Then i made a discovery. In 1851 Thomas was already a widower. He had a son Richard 8,a son Thomas 7 and a daughter Mary age 1.Elizabeth Fielder his wifes sister was living with him and the children. But as you already statded Charles was 23ish so  born in approx 1848 making him three in 51. The son Alfred shows up as 41 in the 1881 so born about 1840 making him 11 and Edward in the 81 says 34 making him born about 1847 so would be about 4 in the 51. I wonder why these  three children were not at home with him and the others. It seems strange.  I can see lots of Charles Childs in 51 with the right birth dates but belonging to other families from different areas. Do you have the birth cert for your Charles with Thomas as father? I will keep looking but that is a possibility of why you cant find him.  He may have been taken in by Thomas. Just a thought....stranger things have happened.

            anyway i will keep looking very best wishes cheryle.f

Gosh what a lot of chat about Charles!  How come you have been so busy with Charles, Cheryle?
To put things into perspective:
Thomas Child of Hurstbourne Tarrant married Mary Fielder of Newbury, Berks.
Children (I think this is all of them:
Alfred 1840 His daughter Isabel married Richard's son Thomas. (Some of) the other children were Agatha, Ethel, Mabel & Gerald. Alfred followed his father Thomas into the church - both were Rector of Upper Clatford at one time.
Richard 1842-29 apr 1923 (My ancestor) was married twice. First time round he married Mary Louisa Dampier granddaughter of Rev Frowd (rector of Upper Clatford!) and had 9 children. They combined their surnames and Richard went through life as Richard Dampier-Child after that. In his late 40's he took a liking to the nursemaid - Mary Ann Austridge and he divorced and married her.(4 children)
Thomas Hall 1843 Married an Alice Unknown and his son Thomas George married another of Richard's children, Lucy
Edward 1846 Seems not to have married and was ... wait for it!.... Curate of Upper Clatford
Charles Morgan 1848 So poor Charlie died young (sob)
Mary Ann 1850 Don't know anything about Mary.

I wonder where Hall & Morgan come from?
