I have been unable to find Josiah Hatton (b1846) and Abiah (née Hale) in the 1871 census. Their son William was staying with grandparents Jonathan and Sarah but no sign of Josiah. Have tried many variations of spelling with no luck. Can anyone help?

As William HATTON Grandson is aged one on the 1871 census - and looking at Gloucestershirebdm for HATTON births - mother's maiden name HALE

Westbury on Severn - Newnham

Sarah Hannah HATTON - 1866

William Jonathan HATTON - 1879

Isaac HATTON - 1872 ***

Alice Emily HATTON - 1880

Will have a look for Sarah born 1866
- unless Sarah is the one buried at Lydbrook 14 April 1869

Sarah Ann HATTON - residence, Lydbrook Hill age 2 years & 3 months

--

As William and Alice on the 1891 census were born Lydbrook, probably their sister.

Sometimes it is useful to use the Church of Latter Day Saints Site if you can't find a family

Thanks MPGriffith and Slowhands for your help

Now I have eventually found them in 1871 Census (on Ancestry) as Joseph (transcription error) and Abia Hutton, with infant William.

And I have found his wife Abiah and children in 1881 Census, which unusually, but very helpfully, cites head of household as "absent in America". There are two children born 1873 (Isaac) and 1880 (Alice Emily). Josiah was back in UK for the 1891 Census.

Josiah Hatton was buried Oglesby, La Salle, Illinois 29.09.1921.
Abiah 29.12.1933 La Salle, Illinois.

Best wishes

Thank you for death info for Josiah and Abiah. Also found this in two Ancestry trees.
