Jo to add....Query on Family Bruston-Busson Ruston??

[Northern Lass]

on the 1861 is a Samuel Busson ....indexed as that on ancestry
living Blue pig Row Dudley
near them are Andrew Homer wife selina and kids including a Martha Homer dau


why is his wife ann down as a Homer?

can anyon see pls

also what is name is it Ruston or Russon
I can't see them on other census

Samuel is aged 36 labourer b Enville
Ann wife is aged 34 b Wombourne
kids are
henry 14
John 12 b wombourne
other kids
Joseph 10
Richard 8
Samuel 5


my query is is that Richard with them a Homer?

I have connected up a Richard here
based on marriage info
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... =885155957

there is only one Richard homer b 1849

I have Richard with father and mother on 1851
and then with wid mother on 1861

if that Richard on 1861 with Samuel Busson is a Richard Homer ...and I cant see why
then is it the one I have?

can someone also look at 1881 pls for Richard any Homers living near him

I am doubting connection now
as Martha homer is wits on Richards marriage

but why is that family indexeds with head as sAmuel Busson and others as Homer

got them I think on 1871 BRISTOW!

It might be indexed as Busson on Ancestry - but it definitely looks like Bristow to me

When Ancestry had all these census booked indexed, they sent them out to places where they could get more for their shillings. Some of them, I do know, went to India - so people weren't that good with English names and indexed what they saw. So whatever they are indexed as sometimes has to be taken with a pinch of Salt and you have to "say what you see".

I would definitely go with Bristow.

[Antie Em]

You probably need to add an alteration/amendment and tell Ancestry of the transcription error - they do put them right - I must have sent hundreds. I have even seen situations where the head of the family is at the bottom of one page and the rest of the family on another. Ancestry have got these pages in the wrong order and have indexed a wife and children with the wrong father.
