1851, 1861 census for the Austin family

[gjervis]

I trying to gather evidence to establish a marital connection with my great grandfather. My gggf James Jervis married Ann Austin in 1845 in Stoke on Trent. The marriage cert gives Ann's father as Robert Austin as a shoemaker. But in the 1841 census there is a Robert Austin with a daughter Ann living in Stoke on Trent with an occupation of printer. Hopefully the 1851 and 1861 will settle the issue.

I would be grateful if someone could assist me.

many thanks.

Hi
The marriage was at Stafford St Mary
Her sister Hannah also married there 11.3.1847 to a Henry Ward shoemaker.
Both girls were minors and their father Robert is described as a shoemaker on both.
The address of the two brides is Broadeye and Mill st.

possible christening for Hannah 4.12.1827 at Burton Dassett North End d of Robert and Sarah shoemaker.
On one of the censuses Ann gives her birthplace as Northampton.

Thanks for that. It proved useful as it validated the error in the belief that the Robert Austin family I hoped was the one that my gggrandmother Ann Jervis was related to. The 1861 census for the family that was validating had an unmarried dau Ann and my Ann was already married and living with her husband James Jervis.

So it seems that I have reached a blockage in taking this family line further.

Thanks again for your help.

GREAT WORK! Ciderdrinker. Your matching of the marriage certs for Hannah compare closely with the details I have on Ann's marriage to James.

Much obliged
