STEPHENSON - 1881 Southcoates, Yorkshire, England

[scruffyones]

hello could some please look for a John and Elizabeth (MAry) STEPHENSON in Southcoates, Yorkshire, England on the 1881 census. I am wanting to see if this couple had children at the time and their names.
thank you in advance

[gortonboy]

it would help if we had some years of birth? 

[scruffyones]

sorry
for Elizabeth I have abt 1850
for John i don't really have anything.
this is from the information that i have of a daughter they had in 1879.

What is the name of the daughter?

Far too many John Stephenson's to search.
Specially when you aren't sure whether the wife is Elizabeth or Mary?

[scruffyones]

daughters name is Sarah
Mary Elizabeth is registered on birth certificate for daughter but referred to by family member as elizabeth. and on australia death index as mary

[KGarrad]

Were there any other children?

Best I can find is this:

Reference RG11, Piece 4778, Folio 71, Page 4

Thank you
we arnt sure of the other children's names. we know of a few born in new zealand before they moved to australia.
the sarah you have listed is aged  3
on the nz register our sarah was born in 1881 so this may be the family. thank you for giving us a bit more to work by. i will pass this information on and see what we can come up with from there.
we dont know if they went back to the uk  or how often they did.

[KGarrad]

I did say it was the best I could find!

But that was based on Sarah being born c1879 - as you said in reply #2?
Now you are saying she was born in 1881?

When did the family emigrate?
Are we likely to see them in the England 1891 census?

[scruffyones]

sorry meant 1879 making her 2-3 in 1881
