Could someone look up these two people for me please (they were married to each other 1891)?

The birthplace (and parents if on birth certificate) of Absalom Bailey, born 1867, died 1933, and the same for Sarah (possibly A) Rogers born approx 1865, died 1928?

Thanks in advance.

Do you mean this one,
1901. Ashton in Makerfield, Lancashire.
Absolam Bailey 33. Coal Hewer. Old Park, Shropshire.
Sarah Bailey 28. Old Park, Shropshire.
Thomas Bailey 8. Son.
Leah Bailey 7. Dau.
Jane Ellen Bailey 6. Dau.
Jamima Bailey 3. Dau.
Lily Bailey 4 Months. Dau.

Children born Ashton in Makerfield, Lancashire.

Thats the one...I recognise him from the childrens names.

Now I must check where Old Park is....if what I was told as a child, it should be near Madely in Shropshire.

Thanks for the help so far.

This looks to be the probable one. I've got Absalom as being born in 1867, so in 1881 he would have been 14, just like the one on the list. am I correct in assuming that Rossannah would be the spouse? At 33, she seems a bit young to have a son of 23! Are the various census available to all, or are they subscription things?

Rosehannah is Richard's wife, but she is probably his second wife, i.e. not Enoch's mother.

There are a couple of free census sites : The 1881 census is here : http://www.familysearch.org/eng/Search/ ... search.asp - and various 1841 - 1901 here : http://www.freecen.org.uk/ - this is being put on by volunteers so isn't complete and doesn't contain images.

The 1911 is available by subscription only from Ancestry (no index yet) or from Find my past here : http://www.findmypast.co.uk/search/census/choose

Thankyou Auntie M...is it always like this, the more names one finds, the more questions one has?

I'm now wondering if the Richard Bailey aged 41 in 1881 is the same one as shown as being 34 in 1871.....

Could be - but you might need his marriage to be absolutely sure
