In the post a couple of days ago, I received the wedding cert of James STREET to Ruth BARNSLEY, who married 9th April 1849 in Dudley, Worcestershire. Ruth's father is given as Josiah BARNSLEY, profession a nailor.
I have found him in 1851 - HO107; Piece: 2036; Folio: 648; Page: 26, which shows him as aged 47, born in Kingswinford, Staffordshire, along with wife Hannah, and children Thomas, Edward, Sarah, Charlotte, Alexander & Josiah.
I have scoured 1841 census in the hope of finding Ruth with her parents. She was aged 20 when she married giving a birth year of c1829. In the census after her marriage, she is enumerated as being born in Kingswinford, as are her siblings.
Can anybody find the family in either census? Appreciate any help that can be given as I'm going cross-eyed :(
I've also treid to find Josiah and family in 1861, and drawn a blank there as well
