If, in 1881, they were living next door to Clara's parents - have you found Clara's parents in 1891 - in case they are still nearby?

I have tried all sorts of ways without sucess.

initial plus surname.

just initials.

variants on surname etc.


You will probably find them one day but they are well hidden for now.


Just seen previous post and I did see some with Platts. Back in a mo.

Mary Report 28 Dec 2009 20:00

Hi Denise,

A quick search on Ancestry reveals that there's a member with the same Quinn family in their tree. They don't have the 1891 census, either.

I've had this problem myself a couple of times:- one explanation was that the surname had been mistranscribed into something completely unrecognisable (I was looking for 'Weedon' and the transcript said 'Thurdon').

The other explanation was that the census piece for that particular district or sub-district for 1891 has not survived or is otherwise unavailable.

Good luck,

Liz
