Please help. I am trying to locate the MORTON family on the 1881 census. These are the details I have from both 1901 and 1891: 1901 Edward Morton; abt 1838; Ascot, Berkshire; Head; Painter, House Emily Morton; abt 1841; Pimlico, London; Wife; Clara Morton; abt 1873; Twickenham, Middx; Daughter; Dressmaker Kate Morton; abt 1875; St Margarets, Middx; Daughter; Dressmaker Arthur Morton; abt 1879; Twickenham, Middx;Son; Paper Hanger Sydney Morton; abt 1883; Twickenham, Middx; Son; Paper Hanger 1891 Edward Morton; abt 1839; Lanonnyhill; Head; House Painter Emily Morton; abt 1841; Tuntico, London; Wife; Dressmaker Florence Morton; abt 1870; Twickenham, Middx; Daughter; Nurse Kate Morton; abt 1874; Twickenham, Middx; Daughter; Dressmaker Arthur Morton; abt 1879; Twickenham, Middx; Son; Scholar Sydney Morton; abt 1883; Twickenham, Middx; Son; Scholar I've tried MORTEN and MORT* and have also looked for each family member individually, but haven't come up with them at all. Admittedly I haven't started looking in the 1871 census yet, as 1881 is baffling me at present. I need to pop out for about half an hour, but if anyone can help, I'd be most grateful. Thanks. Ellie

Merry that was me laying it out better to read but youre too quick! lol. Suzanne X

LOL - I thought you might miss it! Merry

Merry, thank you so much. I was searching Ancestry and completely forgot that Family Search has the 1881 census - I'm assuming that's where you got it from? And thank you for looking up 1871 and 1861 for me too - I hadn't got that far! Suzanne - thank you for sorting out my message! When I first typed it, I had all the correct spacing in it, but it just wouldn't put them in when I uploaded the message. I even tried some basic html scripting, but that didn't work either! I now know why people type their message twice - once as a reply to themself! Thanks again, both of you. Ellie

I found it on Ancestry first, but copying from Family Search saves having to type out the occupations! Merry
