Find Ancestors

Looking for Owen G Bywater, born c1832 in Huntingdon, Hunts. He should be with wife Emma, born 1832 in Godmanchester, Hunts and daughter Annie M, born 1857 in Huntingdon and probably other children. I've tried every possible combination of names on Ancestry with no result. Can anybody find them?

Thank you Jeanette. I have all the other census information but unable to find them on 1871. I think they had a daughter named Emma who is not on the 1881 census.

where was daughter Clara born - does that help? ......Huntingdon.......... hopefully she'll show up as a tiddler in 1871 census Name: Clara Bywater Year of Registration: 1871 Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar District: Huntingdon County: Huntingdonshire Volume: 3b Page: 291

They were all born in Huntingdon.There may have been a daughter Caroline as well, I'm not sure about these.

are these all their children - they all have a father Owen Bywater 1.

Thank you Ann, why didn't I look on IGI? Duh!!!! I'd still like to find them on 1871 though.

am still trying, they must be behind a bush or something! I am not trotting around in Huntingdon High St- hypothetically you understand!- any idea who their neighbours were or where they actually lived in the high st in 1881?

Thank you Ann. Abducted by aliens I think. I wondered if Caroline and Emma were twins as they were christened at the same time but I found a birth for a Caroline Bywater in Huntingdon June quarter of 1861 but couldn't find a birth for Emma on Ancestry.

Thank you everybody. I took Ann's advice and looked at Owen's neighbours in 1861 and 1881 and one was Thomas Leach who was next door in both censuses and was born c1813 in St Ives, Huntingdonshire. However, he is also missing off the 1871 census so I think those records are missing for some reason. I really appreciate everyone's efforts to help me.

..still wandering around in Huntingdon High Street - a lot of it though!....

Given up on that old directoryDirectory of Bedfordshire & Huntingdonshire, 1862 Owen G Bywater- Jnr agent to the life association of scotland! there is Also an OwenG Bywater, boot a shoe maker- possibly his father? -Harods 1876 directory of Herts Beds Buck Hunts Owen G Bywater Carrier- still in the Hight st

Thank you Ann. Yes, Owen's father was also Owen Griffin Bywater and he was a Cordwainer which is of course a boot and shoemaker. Also Owen had a son of the same name but he died in Northampton June quarter of 1890 aged 31.

Hi Valerie I've been up and down the High Street so to speak, and I'm afraid I am going to have to give up, I can't see any of them So sorry Cheryl
