I have a family in 1851 (HO107; Piece: 2042; Folio: 884; Page: 27) in Worcester
John Wilson, Head, Mar, 29, Gun Smith, Birmingham
Eleanor Wilson, Wife, Mar, 31, Burnisher, Dudley
Sarah Wilson, Dau, 6, Scholar, Worcester (This has been transcribed on Ancestry as Worcestershire, but it is definitely Worcester itself)
John Wilson, Son, 3, Scholar, Ditto
George Wilson, Son, 10 mnth, Ditto
Eleanor is my relative, her maiden name is Clift and I have the marriage from parish registers. I also have her in 1841 as Elinor.
I have the births of the 3 children from the new GRO search, but Sarah is registered Q3 Birmingham (Vol 16 Page 245), along with one other, Samuel Benjamin Wilson, Q1 1853 Worcester Vol 6c Page 288. All have the mmn as Clift.
There is one other child in the GRO index, Ann Wilson Q4 1846, with mmn Clift, but also registered in Birmingham (Vol 16 Page 339). I can't find a likely death, so if she is John and Eleanor's, where is she in 1851?
Now for the confusing part. I haven't managed to find this family going forward, but using Ancestry suggestions, there is nothing going forward for John snr, but for Eleanor they suggest RG 9; Piece: 2163; Folio: 36; Page: 7
Ellen Wilson, Head, Widow, 43, Leather Case Maker, Worcestershire Dudley
Elizabeth Wilson, Daur, unm, 16, Leather Case Maker, Warwickshire Birmingham
John Wilson, Son, Unm, 13, Satchel Maker?, Worcestershire Worcester
Richard S Wilson, Son, 6, Ditto, Staffordshire Wolverhampton
Ellen fits, if she shortened her name, but the only child that is a precise fit is John. Elizabeth is the same age as Sarah, but her middle name is Eleanor from the GRO and she doesn't fit the place of birth from 1851. I can't find a birth for Richard at all.
So, is this the right family in 1861 (I think it unlikely), so where are they going forward from 1851?
