If anyone has the 1851 Worcestershire census please could you look up William Commander OR Commanders born 1847 Bromsgrove (in 1861 appears in Lickey End) & Emily Palmer born 1845 Bromsgrove (ditto above) they are my g.g.g. grandparents & I am having real trouble tracking down their parents. Emily's father was John Palmer born 1795 & I think her mother was Phoebe but she was dead by 1861. As for William he is at his granparents (surname Pearcey) in 1861. I found a record on LDS for his christening & his parents are listed as William & Emma. No signs of them at all from 1861 onwards, can't find a marriage or deaths. Am totally flumoxed (sp!). Any help would be gratefully received as I am SOOOOO stuck! Thanks NIcolette

Dear Carol, Hmm the mystery deepens. I'm pretty sure these aren't the ones as there were another family in Stourbridge in the other censuses. Back to the drawing board- many thanks for your help though! Best wishes Nico

Just had a thought. Would you be able to check Richard & Martha Pearcey (born 1800 & 1794, both in Bromsgrove). These are his grandaprents in 1861, maybe he's with them in 1851? Many thanks Nico
