George WATKINS help with 1881 & 1891 Census
« on: Friday 19 October 12 01:38 BST (UK) »
Hi all,
I have been looking for George WATKINS (born 1860 in Hay BRE or Clifford HEF) in the Censuses, but can't find these 2 years. His mother Celia WATKINS was not married when he was born.

In the 1861 Census he is at Clifford HEF with his mother & Grandparents Thomas & Sarah WATKINS

In the 1871 Census he is in Birmingham with his Aunt & Uncle Sarah Agnes & Charles MOORE (his name here is George Watkins Moore). Between 1873 & 1879, the Moores move to Tamworth STS but he did  not go with them.

In Dec qtr 1881 he married Emily Mary WICKSTONE in the Birmingham Reg Dist

1881 & 1891 Census ???

In the 1901 Census he is with his wife & 2 daughters (Lily, b 1883 & Emily b 1885) in Coventry.

In 1911 Census he is with his wife & 2 young girls (visitors) in Coventry. I can't read the number of children that they had - I think it is a oddly-written 2.

I'd like to see the other 2 census to confirm 2 children and also see if his mother is with him at any stage. She married John TOLLEY in 1861, had a son John jnr in 1862 in Hay, then she & the baby seem to vanish. John snr is remarried by 1871.

Any help in finding him would be much appreciated.
