Find Ancestors

Trying to find Charles Errington on 1851 (poss), 1861, 1871 or 1881 census. Is there any reason why a family would not be on a census? He was born in 1851 either in London or in the Cotswolds where he later lived. We know the family were in Holborn in around 1871 and that he married Alice Boyfield there in June 1872. In 1873 I think they were then in Wick Hill, Gloucestershire and in 1881 in Alton, Hants. Later in Leeds.
His parents were John Errington (1823) and Elizabeth Oliver (1814) both from London possibly. Charles had 2 siblings - Mary (1848) and Elizabeth (1849).

Thankyou for any help you can give.

Victoria.

How do you know names of his parents if you have not found him on any earlier census?

Do you have his marriage cert for the name and occupation of his father?

I have info from an old family tree. I'd just like to back it up with census records. Think his father was a steward with London City Council and a Coachman at some point. Think this info was from my granny who had all of it in her head but she is no longer here to confirm!!!!

By the way - Glitter Baby I recognise your name from a request I put in in March to find out about a William Musgrave. I'm just revising that one and about to get certificates to proove all the info you gave me. It was a confusing one that was deserving of Who Do You Think You Are!!! So Thankyou.

Thanks Victoria.

I hope the certs prove the information if not it will be back to the drawing board.

I can see them on all the other censuses ? do you not have access ?

FreeBMD has John Errington and Elizabeth Oliver same page, married Mar.Q 1847, Kensington. (3 211)

I can't believe how quickly you guys find these things out!!!! They moved around London a bit didn't they!!!! No wonder I was having problems pin pointing them!!! Any joy with the other census? Or did they disappear?

Thankyou, Victoria.

Hm - I couldn't see them on the other census. I'll have to have another look. I def couldn't find them on 1881 as I have just had another look at that one.

I believe this is them in 1881, in which case you've got the wrong John Errington who married Alice Boyfield.

Sorry, Victoria, I mis-read your original message. Was thinking you said that John had married Alice, I see now, you had Charles marrying Alice,
Just another "senior moment"!

Ah thankyou Maureen/ Glitterbaby. You seem to have done it again with those last few. When I had put in surname variants it hadn't thrown up Evrington. I am sure that is the right family in 1881 and that must go with Charles in Devon possibly there overnight as a coachman. We didn't have Alice being born in Lincoln so that's new info. The 1891 one must be right as well - pity about the dodgy placenames!!! The place Charles was born seems to vary on every census!!!

Thanks again for all that. Where is Charles in 1871?????

Victoria.
