I am looing for the following family in 1871 please

John Andrews born 1808 at Smethwick, Birmingham and wife Mary A (nee Phillips) born between 1810 & 1816 according to other censuses. They married in 1833 & had 6 children Henry 1836, John 1838, Sarah 1840, Emma 1842, Thomas 1846 & Alfred 1849.

In 1841 & 1851 they are at Aston Road, Aston, Birmingham & in 1861 they are at Fordrough Rd, B'ham.

I can't find them at all in 1871. By 1881 Mary is a widow living with daughter Emma & family

Any info would be great

Thanks, Not that I know of, but may fit in somewhere. It is a difficult name to trace. I haven't made a start on the Phillips yet - another common name!!

Thanks everyone so much. At last I've got her. Now it's reading her birthplace that's difficult.

Cheers

Thanks everyone for your help. That has helped narrow the searchdown for John's death plus I can now make a start looking for the Phillips family.
