Can anyone tell me why there doesn't seem to be a census for Welford, Northants in the 1871 census? Am trying to find a James Wilson from there but cannot find a reference to him anywhere for that year. Alison |

Can you give us the details you have for him on another census please? Places of birth do change, he may have given a big town near where he was born. |

This is the right family from the 1881 census. Cannot find a listing for Welford in the 1871 census on ancestry and was wondering if there may be another listing for the village elsewhere. I have his father and mother, Thomas and Elizabeth, living in Welford in the 1861 census and I have James, aged 16 in the 1851 census, also in Welford, but cannot find them again until 1881. Any help would be appreciated Alison |

Go to ancestry's 1871 census and put 'Welford' in the keyword box. There are 4,202 results. nell |

Alison I see your difficulty! I looked on the Genuki list of registration districts to see where Welford is. It;s in Lutterworth reg district so I put that into Genuki and it came up with 1871 England Census Please choose an enumeration district in Spratton: District 2 View description of enumeration district District 3 View description of enumeration district Both these enumeration districts mention Welford turnpike but do not include Welford. My guess is that Welford is in District 1, which doesn't appear to be there. Possibly Northamptonshire records office can explain where it is! nell |
