! saw this too - before retiring to bed!

The family he is boarding with have been transcribed as Fel (Ancestry).
The original entry looks more like Feb?

Feb, John  Head  M  55  Coal Miner  b Wigan
Feb, Jane  Wife  F  52  b Whitehaven
Brocklebank, Andrew  Son-in-Law  Unmarried  M  21  b Coal Miner  b Whitehaven
Partington, Mary  Daughter-in-Law  Unmarried  F  12  b Whitehaven
Richards, John  Boarder  M  19  Coal Miner  b Manchester

Putting  2 and 2 together, and getting 22 . . .

Could this Fel/Feb family be a mistranscribed Fee family?!

That's  lot to get through many thanks. I will start by getting one of Johns sons birth cert.

Thanks again, I will keep you all updated.

Has anyone found Elizabeth Fee in 1881 census ?

I have found her STILL in that workhouse aged 14 daughter - a scholar ?? in 1881 ..how sad 14 years since birth in the Workhouse
I would have thought she would have been working at that age in those days

according to the census
relationship to head - Sarah Fee b 1847...INMATE  HEAD  - Domestic servant
Marital Condition - single
 ...does this mean she actually ran the workhouse ??..

Let us know if you need help with the ordering process through the GRO (General Register Office). 

I just looked up the GRO and a certificate is £9.25. Do you know if there is a cheaper way as I only require an electronic copy.

you cannot view or download GRO certificates online unfortunately, and thats an excellent price.

Richard, John

Fee, Elizabeth

I am sure in my old notes from twenty years or so ago, I recall the surname Fee. I must have a look when I am at my Mum's next.

Thanks again.

Which census is this? 1871?

It does look like a huge co-incidence doesn't it? Fee/Fel/Feb? Ancestry is playing up for me at the moment, but have you check earlier or later census for this family to check that surname?
