Not at home on census night - what happens? (General)

by janethowell, Sunday, June 15, 2014, 14:08 (3808 days ago) @ Jefff

The particular census is the 1861

The details are in my recent mail - "Help in general and my Jenkins family in particular"

I am just trying to think of new ways of searching for them - or explaining their apparent disappearance at this time.

Other working hypotheses include travelling preachers or travelling to work in other coalfields.

At the time of the 1861 census I am looking for
Shadrach Jenkins b.1831 age 29/30 collier
Sarah Jenkins b.1827 age 34
John Jenkins b. 1857 age 3 (or 4)
Rachel Jenkins b.1860 age 0 (or 1)

Shadrach, Sarah and John all born Bream

Any search hints or research lines to take would be great.

Many thanks
janet
