1871 - James Armitage Flower

[peterth]

I'm trying to locate James Armitage Flower in the 1871 England census.

I can find him living with his parents (before his marriage in 1873?) in 1851 and 1861:

Back Street, Thorne, Yorkshire
Robert Flower, 1803, Thorne
Jane, 1807, Aldbrough?
Joe A, 1838, Thorne
Jane Ann, 1840, Thorne
Ruth, 1841, Thorne
John, 1843, Thorne
William, 1845, Thorne
James A, 1850, Thorne

In 1873 he married Emily Hill (1850, Thorne) and can be found in 1881:

Bramwell Street, Sheffield
James Armitage Flower, 1849, Thorne
Emily, 1850, Thorne
Arthur, 1875, Thorne
Gertrude, 1877, Thorne
Lilian, 1881, Thorne

I can't find either James Armitage Flower or Emily Hill in 1871 - help!

Wendy - thanks for that!

This looks like the right Emily Hill.  It looks like her sister Elizabeth married Josh Hetherington, born Rotherham 1851.  I can find them in 1881 in Bramwell? Street, Sheffield with a selection of kids.

Any luck with James?  As today was the last day before Christmas, we did a bit of searching at work but no luck.  Perhaps he gave a false name or had gone on a 'gap year' before settling down or was in prison??  Do convicts get listed in censuses??
