Beech Family Blackhalve Farm 1891 Census

[RodF]

Hello,

I am having trouble finding the Beech Family headed by Joseph Beech (born 1842 or 1844) in the 1891 Census.

I can find them in the 1881 census at Blackhalve Farm House, Wednesfield.  They are still there in 1901 and 1911 (although the 1901 data refers to the address as "Black Halos Lang".)

Joseph and Hannah had 13 children and finding who was at home in 1891 will be useful.

Is it possible they were omitted from the 1891 census?

Thanks
Rod

Mort29,

Thanks so much for your help.  I have found the transcript at the references you have noted and can confirm it is the "missing" Beech family.  Using the details I was able to establish that they are recorded in the transcript used by "Findmypast" (which I have been using) as "BERCH" rather than BEECH. 

I have lodged a request for correction with Findmypast but am interested in your comment that the family is indexed as "Bach" in "Ancestry".  I can see from the transcript how this might happen but I had thought that all the search services would use the same central transcriptions?  Does Ancestry use a completely different set of transcriptions?

Regards
Rod

yes, Ancestry do their own (rumour has it in the middle east, or maybe it was the Philipines ? ), as do FindMyPast and the others on the market. All they get from the UK Archives is the microfilmed original pages.

I believe that the only 'shared' transcription is that of the 1881 census originally done by the Church of Latter Day Saints: Ancestry use this - hence why its the only 'free' Index, which they complement with the original enumerators pages ....
