1871 Census Norwich Norfolk

[hurracane]

Hi there , any one with access to the 1871 census for Norwich in Norfolk ? my first request was for the 1861 census but found out that great Grandfather Henry Durrant was not on the 1861 census for Norwich , he must have been else where !, need to confirm the info I have is correct it came from a lady in Australia , so need to confirm that Henry Durrant age 32, wife Elizabeth 28, daughter Mary 9, son Henry 5, son Wiliam 3 and daughter Eleanor 1, were all living at the given address which is this St Augustines walls private homes  it says page 21 (65)sch.no.145].
Not heard of St Augustines walls private homes !, want to check this info out then I might be able to see where Elizabeth was born , and that might give me a clue as to where they were married , if indeed they did !.
Have found a marriage fro a Henry Durrant in 1861, but in the Erpingham disrict , which just could be him ? as of course he was not in Norwich when the 1861 census was done , so before I go for the certicficate need to know a bit more from the 1871 census .
If any one can help I would be delighted ! thanks Janet

Hi there Anna , thanks ! , Henry was born in Norwich in 1839 , and I have info that shows him on the 1871 cenus , but that was from Australia , need to get it confirmed , to see where his wife was born , need a madien name for her from some where ? I do have some info on him , but not his marriage or death , and I know he moved on to a nother Elizabeth in 1881 , that was  Elizabeth Raby , my great grandmother !, they had lots of children together but never married , he was a bit of a lad !.
I contacted a lady in Sept this year who had done the Durrants in Norwich , but not my lot , but in doing so she had collected a bit of info on other ones , and our Henry was one of them , but some one said I should try and get it checked out .
Iam sure Iwill get there in the end !, thanks best wishes Janet .

Hi there Anna, many thanks for what you have done , the lady in Aust, did the research for her cousin in Norwich , who was a durrant by birth , I had the 1881info had that for a few years now , we have a family history shop on our market of all places ! and the lady there got me going so to speak !, my brother inlaw confimed the 1891 info for me as he had access to the 1891 census for a short while .
Think what I wil do now is get one of the childrens birth certificates , see what that turns up !, what Ido know is that my great grand mother Elizabeth Raby never married Henry Durrant , I had the great fortune to meet a lovely chap last year who has done with a friend all the Rabys in Nowich and Norfolk , so that was like winning the family history lottery !.
They already knew about the conection between Henry and our Elizabeth .
So will keep on the trail , and thanks Anna , take care Janet .
