Apologies I missed two younger children off the 1891 census (they were on the next sheet):
1891 errata:
Baud, Ernest; Born abt 1884 Rotherham
Baud, John; Born abt 1883 Rotherham
Pryce appeared to have died in
1900:Deaths - Baud, Pryce; Age 64 ; 1st Quarter; 1900; Rotherham Volume 9c Page 513
They were in
Whiston, near Rotherham, in 1881.
You can read all about Whiston here
http://www.whistonweb.co.uk/heritage/index.htm. There's lots of information on this site about the area and its history, including references to the larger houses (but see cautionary note at the end)
They were captured as Band on the
1881 census (apologies if you know this already - but I felt if you had you would have flagged up the different potential spellings in the original post):
Whiston, Yorkshire
Pryce Band; Born abt 1837 Sisson, Northamptonshire;
Head;
GardenerAnn Band; Born abt 1843 Ratley, Buckinghamshire;
Wife Thomas Band; Born abt 1862 Sisson, Northamptonshire;
GardenerPryce Band; Born abt 1867 Sisson, Northamptonshire;
Emily Band; Born abt 1869 Sisson, Northamptonshire;
Andrew Band; Born abt 1871 Sisson, Northamptonshire;
Clara Band; Born abt 1873 Rotherham;
Fredk. J. Band; Born abt 1877 Rotherham;
James Band; Born abt 1880 Whiston, Yorkshire
P [no full first name given] Band; Born abt 1879 Whiston, Yorkshire; (Daughter)
I couldn't find any entries in Yorkshire Trade Directories for Pryce Baud.
They were transcribed as Bands in
1871 too:
1871 – West End, Silverstone Northamptonshire
Price Band; Born abt 1837 Silverstone;
Head;
NurserymanAnn Band; Born abt 1841 (indististinct);
Wife Thomas Band; Born abt 1862 Silverstone
Mary Ann Band; Born abt 1866 Silverstone
Price Band; Born abt 1868 Silverstone
Emily Band; Born abt 1870 Silverstone
I did find the
1861 census though with an even different name:
1861 – West End, Silverstone Northamptonshire
Benjamin Bard; Born abt 1794 Silverstone;
Head NurserymanMary Bard; Born abt 1795 Silverstone;
Wife LacemakerPrice Bard; Born abt 1836 Silverstone;
Son NurserymanJohn Bard; Born abt 1854 Silverstone;
Grandson I assume John is not Pryce's! Pryce is shown as single on this census.
There appear to be lots of births and deaths (and marriages) of Bauds (and variants) in Rotherham registration District from the 1870s onwards; eg Annie Baud D 1884 Rotherham Q4 Age 42. You can try Free BMD or view these on Ancestry.co.uk without paying.
However the marriage of Thomas Benjamin Baud in 1882, Quarter 2, was in Sheffield Registration District, and not Rotherham. Now Whiston is not far from Sheffield and it would not be that long a pony and trap ride down to Handsworth or Woodhouse, which I believe are in the Sheffield Registration District, but it does make your search for big houses more difficult. The only big place that springs to mind is Aston Hall (probably about 3 miles away from Whiston).
There might be a connection between the bride and a big house, so that might be an avenue worth pursuing. It looks like he married Emma Hallatt
or Harriet Stenton (but don't count on it). The wedding registration is Sheffield Volume 9c Page 587.
Good luck and I hope all this is helpful.
