Might be where George and his brother went in 1881

Black Callerton, Northumberland, England

Looks like the same George with two boys and no wife..Says he is widowed...Hmmmm.....

[AMBLY]

We do like that one............I think you've cracked it!
This is what you've found:

1881: B Callerton Farm (2) , Black Callerton, Northumberland
Ref: RG11 /  Piece: 5099 /  Folio: 125 /  Pg 13
Head: Andrew SHIELLS 55, Farmer Of 363 Ac Employing 6 Men 5 Women  b Scotland   
Wife: Isabella SHIELLS  40 , Farmers Wife Winlaton, Durham       
Son: John SHIELLS 3,  b Newburn, Northumberland   
Dau: Mary E. SHIELLS 1   , b Newburn, Northumberland     
Brother: George SHIELLS , 53, Farm Serv 2 Assistant to Herd (Ag Lab Indoor) , b Scotland
Nephew: James SHIELLS 16   Scholar, b Newburn, Northumberland,
Nephew:  George SHIELLS   14, Scholar, Newburn, Northumberland
Plus, 4 Servants

In 1871, that George is a widower in Black Callerton.....
And Guess who he is with.....his Dad, John - farmer of the same 363 acres. So Andrew got the farm.......  talk about birds and stones. I can't beleive the run of luck you've had with this lot!

Hang on details coming up....

Cheers

Or George. maybe??     
Not John (as I wrote  , Not Robert neither 
That's the IGI record I found,  above, though in my haste I typed in her father's name wrong.... (doh)

Now for the sad news....
Was not finding much on the 1891.... so checked FREEBMD.

Castle Ward Reg District, Northumberland (covers Black Callerton)
father John died Mar Qtr 1878 age 84
son: George died Sep Qtr 1881 (not long after that Census) - age 53
Son: Andrew died Jun Qtr 1884 age 57

It is nice to know, this is probably them and you do know when they died.

Also, a Jane SHIELLS age 42 died in 1870 Castle Ward - could be George's wife - or maybe Andrew's first wife? Andrew married Isabella in 1876.

One of the servants occupations, reveals it's a Dairy Farm.

(Can't see son John SHEILLS age abt 13  in 1891....)

1901: Whitley, Northumberland

Son: ANdre SHIELLS 17, unm , Farmers Son, b Black Callerton
Plus 1 sevant, a Horseman.

hahahah! A Park Avenue adrdess - not quite the one a New Yorker might aspire too.. 

My eyes have - to quote Monica - given up! And I'm feeling all confused as to who to look for next 

Hey, Jason - if you like and we can  help  - how about you go thru amd make a list of all we would like to look for now you have all this - you know:  missing on Census, or just in a Census, BDM, etc.... -  Then we can pick m off one at a time and see what we can tie up??
