Hi Carol It could be him thanks for the offer of the image but I am on ancestry so I will take a look. Can you find him in 1881 ro 1871 or a marriage for him and Sarah ? I can't find daughter Lily in 1881 or my Gran Mary. And I can't find brother Robert in 1901. Anything you can turn I would really appreciate, this lot are driving me round the bend. Again thanks Cheryl

Hi Ebeneza Thats looks like the part of the family that Lynne found in 1871, their is a Grandson called Edwin born Tamworth Staffs which could be Edwin brother of Charles son. As I have Edwin (Snr)with wife Sarah and daughter Lily born Tamworth in 1891 Just need to find them in 1881!!!!! Can you take a look for me and see if you can find them for me please!!!!! Regards cheryl

Is it possible that Edwin married Sarah a little later than you thought, and the children are on the 1881 under her maiden, or previously married, name? Have you looked for a birth reg for any of the younger children?

Hi Ebeneza Never thought of that you clever clogs lol!!!!! But how do I find them under Sarah's maiden name when I don't know what it is (or am I getting to bogged down to think straight) Please help before I call for the medics!!!! Cheryl
