I have finally managed to organise all of the fantastic help that everyone has given me over the past few weeks doing census lookups, and have discovered that I am missing 5 out of the six families I know about from the 1851 census. Would anybody be kind enough to look these up for me please? See below in a sec...

1 George Hood born 1799/1800 in Poole Dorset somtimes Wareham Dorset. Will be Dorset or Hampshire. 2 Frederick Wade born about 1830-ish possibly in Norfolk. May be in Middlesex. 3 Jane Sheppard born 1832 with son Alfred Sheppard born 1850 and her father John Jacobs 1801 all born Figheldean in Wiltshire (Alfred is the target here). Will be Figheldean Wiltshire. 4 Thomas Sheppard born 1812 Longparish in Andover, should be with J Sheppard 1817 Figheldean (wife) and son Francis 1848 Figheldean. Will be Figheldean Wiltshire. 5 Edward Chipperfield born 1822 Gravesend in Kent with son Edward Chipperfield born 1850 Stepney in Middlesex. May be in Middlesex. Thanks very much for filling in these holes (I already have some in 1841).

Hey Rose, thanks for this! That's definately the right Hood, the siblings match what I've got in 41 and 61. Thanks for that! Fred Wade is proving tricky. I think he may have been in Norfolk, however St Lukes is where his future wife was born... Any chance you could show me the families on each please? Maybe the using-the-same-name for your kids thing will tie them up again, it's worked before.

Rose - I think the larger Sheppard family may be mine (both Alfred's born in the same year and same place and both plough boys in 1861 !), but will have to go for certs now. And the Chipperfield confirms my suspicions about him being widowed then marrying Myra Smith after she was widowed too - hence lots of kids with different names! Thanks very much, I really appreciate this. :-)

Fred in Norfolk: Ellen Wade abt 1830 Fersfield, Norfolk, England Daughter Fersfield Norfolk Frederic Wade abt 1832 Fersfield, Norfolk, England Son Fersfield Norfolk George Wade abt 1838 Fersfield, Norfolk, England Son Fersfield Norfolk Henry Wade abt 1786 Fersfield, Norfolk, England Head Fersfield Norfolk Robert Wade abt 1834 Fersfield, Norfolk, England Son Fersfield Norfolk Fred in Middlesex: Mary Paster abt 1830 St Luke Visitor St Luke Old Street Middlesex Frederick Wade abt 1832 St Luke, Middlesex, England St Luke Old Street Middlesex He could be boarding with the Eggleton family but Fred and Mary are enumerated seperately. Fred is a Bird Cage Maker. Rose

ooooh, bird cage maker is the most exotic profession so far, but doesn't fit at all into my ag lab lot! However St Lukes is good as he is there later. BUT, having a sister called Ellen is good too, as one of them came up later as a daughter's name I think .... Hmmmm, so many bits of jigsaw puzzles, and not a box lid in sight ! thanks for doing the lookups though, I just have to work out how some of these fit in. I love this game! Cheers Heidi :-)
