I still haven't been able to find Edward Evans ( born I849 Oldbury) in 1871

I think his family is this family from 1861 census ... but I haven't been able to confirm this... was hoping I87I census would help?

This is his first marriage Mar I873

Edward Evans (full age, bachelor, labourer)living in Harborne, father William Evans(labourer)... marriage to Hannah Derne (full age, spinster) resident in Harborne, father Ephraim Derne(labourer). Witnessed by Isaac Derne & Eliza Derne( bride's siblings?)

Interesting that both Drusilla (Priscilla) and Edward are missing from the family in the 1871 census - are they together?

Not together ... I think this is Druscilla:

1871 at Sn Harry Road(?), Hawthorns, Edgbaston
Alfred Stokes Head 32 Coal Merchant b. Warwicksh., Birmingham
Mary Ann Stokes Sister 48 Income from property b. Warwicksh., Birmingham
Harrietta Stokes Sister 46 Income from property b. Warwicksh., Birmingham
Sarah Maria Stokes Sister 35 Income from property b. Warwicksh., Birmingham
Mary Pugh Servant 50 General Servant b. Pembrokeshire, Wales
Duscilla Evans Servant 21 General Servant b. Worcs., Oldbury

Thankyou for the extra bits of info... I have been able to update some of my Evans s from that
Goodness knows where my Edward is though

You can archive this if you want ..... I think my elusive Mr Evans is going to stay that way
