I know tips is probably the best place for finding lost ancestors but I thought we could always look for those elusive ancestors whilst waiting for Hoff to post his next thread lol

Sam, 1841 England Census about William Pring Name: William Pring Age: 10 Estimated birth year: abt 1831 Gender: Male Where born: Middlesex, England Civil parish: Hammersmith Hundred: Ossulstone (Kensington Division) County/Island: Middlesex Country: England Street address: Occupation: View image Registration district: Kensington Sub-registration district: Hammersmith St Paul Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Benjamin Pring 8 Elizabeth Pring 7 Hannah Pring 35 James Pring 4 John Pring 3 Mary Pring 6 Thomas Pring 1 William Pring 35 William Pring 10 Maybe not your family Have no idea about area (not used to searching in that area) Dates slightly out but there is a brother called James. Father is not called george - he's called William but he isa tailor!

thanks lesley gonna have a look and see where family is in other census'sssss sam x

Good luck. I hope you find them.

I dare not post mine again otherwise everybody will get sick of reading it lol Been going round and around in circles with this one.

go on gloria ! post it you never know sam x

Go on LLC you never know, this time could be different. We'll keep nudging this thread until someone finds them lol

My g/grand mother Harriett Reeves b/ Bromley Kent abt1850. Fathers name William i cant find her on any of the census untill she marries my g/grand father James Pope in 1875 Hazelx

ok here goes lol Maria BUTLER married William PEASON 1890 Northfleet. She puts her age as 20 and father as William BUTLER labourer. In 1891 and 1901 her birthplace is Woolwich. Birth not registered and hired the parish registers but no sign of her baptism.Nowhere to be found on 1871. At first glance there is a Maria BUTLER born 1870 Hampstead that looks like her but this one shows up on 1891 married to Shurety. In 1881 Maria was in the Metropolitan District School at Sutton Surrey along with brother Charles BUTLER b 1867 Woolwich. Maria born Hampstead also has a brother Charles. Their school records show each other as nearest relative. Both are supposedly illegitimate and both Church of England. So I am now at a loss what to do next. She must at least have a mother in 1871 along with sibling Charles. Probably mistranscribed somewhere. GLoria
