1841 / 51 Census Lookup for Reuben Grocock Please

[Evie]

Just found something that puts a spanner in the works
IGI Extracted Records Basford

My thoughts exactly. I was looking at that too when your message came through. Probably we need to find a baptism for Sarah to see what her full name is?

Yes its well strange baptisms state Mother is Elizabeth.1841  children fit  and Father but Mother down as Sarah then 1851 same Father,same address Mother back to Elizabeth.
The marriage to Sarah Riley isnt the right one childrens dates dont fit and their is a John and Sarah having children from 1817 onwards in Basford.

So we need to find Elizabeths marriage to John Grocock around 1813 its not in Basford have checked shes from Bingham in the 1851 so a possible place to look.

One of my thoughts was that Sarah was John's sister as there is a Sarah Grocock on IGI parents John and Ann baptised 1793 Basford. I wonder if it is worth looking for Elizabeth somewhere. Without looking back on the census am I right in thinking 1841 does not state relationships?

Evie

Added - and 1780 and 1799

[welsh lady]

Yes youre right doesnt give relationships looks like that could be it .Well done

Welsh Lady

So we need to find Elizabeths marriage to John Grocock around 1813 its not in Basford have checked shes from Bingham in the 1851 so a possible place to look.

Unfortunately, IGI only has dates 1821-1836 for Bingham marriages.
