Hi,
I have been trying to find Peter Lewis born abt 1867,he married Sarah
Bennett born abt 1870 in oldbury,Staffordshire.
The only Peter married to Sarah i could find was on the 1891 census
well i think it is them.
But it was under Peter Rogers,the family before them were called Rogers
so Peter and his family were put down as Rogers by mistake. instead of
Lewis.
Anyway it says Peter was born in cinderford ,Gloucestershire,but
i cannot find him on the 1871 or 1881 census.
I would be very grateful for any help please.
Thankyou
Carol

If you ordered the marriage cert it will give you Peter's father, which may help track them in the census

Just realised, this is not malaw but his mother as in the other censuses, and George is the only son Emma claims?

Peter's son Peter with Tootyfruity's family in 1911?
LEWIS, Emma Head F 65 1846 Housework Worcestershire Oldbury
LEWIS, George Son Single M 28 1883 Boatman Tar Works Worcestershire Oldbury
LEWIS, Peter Grandson Single M 20 1891 Ironworker Rolling Iron Worcestershire Oldbury
TOLLY, Joseph Nephew Single M 48 1863 Boatman Stone Worcestershire Oldbury

RG number: RG14 Piece: 17272 Reference: RG14PN17272 RG78PN1060 RD371 SD2 ED17 SN62

Registration District: West Bromwich Sub District:
Oldbury Enumeration District: 17 Parish: Oldbury
Address: 4 Lodge St Oldbury County: Staffordshire

Initially it said Emma was a widow, married 25 years, 10 children born, 1 child living.
So possibly not correct family.

Thankyou every one for your help i appreciate you taking the time and trouble to look for me.
The one child of Peter and Sarah ,Sarah i think died in 1894.
There are 2 possible death`s in 1893 and 1894 for Peter and Sarah
that is why young Peter was staying with his Grandmother Emma in 1901
Also a nother child of Peter and Sarah Harriet Lewis born about 1893
staying with family in 1901,it says niece ,yet to fathom out how they are
related.
On the 1911 Harriet is with another aunt Jane who was the sister of Sarah
.
It is so confusing.
