1861 1871 1881 1911 census

Hi all

I am having so much trouble finding an ancestor in the above censuses.

Thomas Arthur Page born 1861 in Buckinghamshire.

In 1890 his marries Alice Louisa Willis b.1865.

I have him in the 1891 census with Alice and 1 child Thomas b1831.

1901 he is again with Alice, and 4 children Thomas, Lilian b.1887, George b.1899 and Albert b.1901.

1911 I have Alice with Lilian, George and 1 more child Alice b.1908. She is listed as married however and not as a widow, but I can't for the life of me find him in the 1911 census.

I also cannot find him in the 1861, 1871 or 1881 census.... I haven't been able to find a baptism record to get the names of his parents... So I have hit a brick wall!!

Can anyone help??

(Hope my post made sense!!!)

I don't know if you have the marriage certificate for Thomas Page and Alice Wills - but if not it is available on Ancestry.
Gives Thomas' father as Thomas, occ. labourer (deceased). Not a lot of help!

Banbury, Swalcliffe,Wroxton, Oxfordshire.

There is another Thomas Page born in 1861 in Bucks... this is him. I have followed him throughout the census and he is not my Thomas unfortunately.

That one can be followed on the census right through to 1891, still living at home.

There is a Thomas Page born c 1854 Great Hampden in the 1861 census - parents Thomas (ag. lab) and Emilia.
I wonder if he knocked a few years off his age!
Having problem following this one through the census though.

How strange, I was just looking at the same family in 1881.
I don't know how I can determine if it is definitely him? So annoying.

Just following through with the parents from that census - Thomas & Amelia.
From freeBMD looks as if they died in 1883 and 1885 respectively, Wycombe registration district.
- so at least that Thomas fits in with being deceased by the time Thomas and Alice married in 1891 - although it still doesn't mean it's the right one!

I have also researched a Thomas Page, one born in "America" in 1838.

His family were back in Warwickshire by 1841 and remained there. It was reasonably easy to find him in all the census because of his birthplace, but was once transcribed as PAYE and his brother is listed as PUGH, but I think that was because he was just a lodger.

PAGE is such a hard name to google !!!
