1871 Wolverhampton Census Request, BARTON

[clr1979]

Hi all,

Would someone please be kind enough to do a lookup for me.

I'm looking for a John Barton Born 1848 / 1849 in Malvern, Worcester. In 1873 he had a daughter called Sarah Jane and in 1875 a daughter called Lily both born in Wolverhampton. We have found him in 1881 living with another family and widowed. I'm hoping that the 1871 census might reveal his wifes name.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Carl.

Hiya Carl

I'm a bit confused. I have looked in the 1871 census and there is no John Barton listed as being born in Malvern. I checked the 1881 census and the only one listed as a lodger in Wolverhampton being born in Malvern is unmarried - no mention of Sarah or Lily. Have I got the wrong one? I checked the census image and it definutely says unmarried

Do you mean you've found them in 1891?

Name - Age - Where Born - Relationship to Head - Occupation

John Barton   42(Widow)   Malvern, Worcestershire   Head Sheet Iron Close Ann calo?
Barton, Lilly   6   Wolverhampton, Staffordshire   Daughter
Barton, Sarah Jane   8   Wolverhampton, Staffordshire   Daughter
along with
Sarah Shepherd 35 House Keeper
Annie Shepherd - 14 House Keeper's Daughter

This puts John at the right age but Lily as born in 1885 and Sarah Jane in 1883.

I'll have a look to see if I can find John before this.

Willow,

Last night after posting this I descovered from the person who I'm doing this for that johns daughters were born in 1883 & 1885. Sorry about that. You do have the correct one for 1881 though.

Darren,

Yes this is them in 1891. If you could find them in 1871 that would be great.

Thanks

Carl.

Stuggling to find him in 1871, have got this from Free BMD it would mean sending off for the certificate but it would give you John's Wife's name, assuming it's the correct Lily.
