*Arc TBC* -- 1871 census missing couple

Post by kdp »

Hi folks,
looking for help again please, this time with the 1871 census...
William Parrish born 1845 Brierley Hill Kingswinford and Caroline born 1849 Kingswinford.
Married 1868 in Birmingham.
I have them both in 61 census (pre marriage) in Kingswinford
and I have them in 81 census together in Kingswinford

However I cannot find them in 71?

In 68 they had a daughter Mary Ann (born Birmingham, aston) who in 71 is living with her Grandparents (Norwood: Carolines Parents) In Kingswinford...
So where are Mom and Dad?
Hopeing you can help :wink:
thanks

Are those all the same family ?

So children that appear

Mary Ann b 1868 -- in 1871 with Grandparents, 1881 with parents
Thomas b 1874 -- 1881 with parents
Ann Maria b 1876 -- 1881 & 1891 with parents,
Elizabeth b 1879 -- 1881 with parents

Harriett b 1884 -- 1901 with parents

George b 1890 -- 1911 with mother
Louisa b 1892 -- 1911 with mother

well that is 7 children still alive but they don't seem to spend large amounts of time with parents -- they seem to be on a rota!

and who does John William grandson belong to?

In 1891 they were living at 48 adams street, aston, birmingham.
Caroline died in 1901 in aston, obviously after the census was taken lol and joh died in 1907.

Ok so you have the above plus Emily b 1882


My guess is that Mary Ann was with Grandparents while they had another baby in 1871 -- as that is a big gap 1868 - 1874 for someone who then went on to have babies the standard every 2-3 years.

Any more Parrish children born right area 1870-1871 who might be siblings? -- if there arenot too many births that cannot be accounted for on the census it might be worth looking for baptisms before the ultimate of speculating on birth certificates.!
