Starr goes missing
« on: Sunday 22 February 15 10:28 GMT (UK) »
Hello all,

A Sunday morning challenge  :)

I am trying to find Harriet Starr in the 1871 census.
her birth is registered Basford 1858
1861 can be found at RG9 2439 12 19
but I can't find her in 1871. There is another Harriet Starr, close in age, born Wollaton but she is the proverbial red herring.

Thankyou
Brie

And Larkspur, thankyou as well - I'm feeling a little stupid, should have thought of two ts though I did try quite a few name variations.

Cheers

Larkspur,

For some reason only the census part of your answer came up at first or I am really losing the plot.

I would love the baptism details when you have time.

Thanks again
Brie

I think this is Harriet in 1881 with William. Was William a widower when he married Harriet?

Hello again Betty,

I believe he was a widower and that Harriet was his second wife if I have remembered it correctly and that is the correct family. Thankyou.

I am now struggling to find Harriet's father in the 1861 census. Harriet is with her mother and siblings, reference above but William b c 1821 is elsewhere. I have been looking for all Williams born that date in Greasley in case Starr has been mistranscribed and other ruses but so far to no avail.

Cheers
Brie
