Hi all,
Wondering if anyone could shed any light on some missing ancestors of my husband. I have them in a couple of censuses, and then they vanish - ridiculous! Did they not know we were going to be looking for them....!?
I know I'm being silly and rude, but it just gets to you a bit after a while, do you know what I mean?
I'm looking for Thomas and Elizabeth Vaughan (nee Hughes), married in 1861. I have them in the 1861 census (pre-marriage) and 1871 census (married) living in St Asaph Denbighshire Wales, where they were both born, lived, etc. Here are the details in the 1871 census:
Thomas Vaughan, b 1841 Head.
Elizabeth Vaughan, b 1840 Wife.
William Vaughan, b 1859 Son.
Mary Vaughan, b 1864 Daughter.
Samuel Vaughan, b 1866 Son.
Hugh Thomas Vaughan, b 1871 Son.
(c/o TNA census ref RG10 5669 69 11)
...and then they vanish.
I can't understand where they go. Can anyone see something I'm missing?
Hubby's direct ancestor, Hugh Thomas Vaughan, gets married in 1892 - still in St Asaph - and then have children there from 1897 to 1906. Hugh and his family appear in St Asaph on the census in 1911.
It seems unexpected that the parents (Thomas and Elizabeth) would have just moved out of the area completely, but I can't find either of them on 1881/91/01/11 census. They may have died, but that could be odd because they were both quite young to have died before 1881.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Rachel
P.S. Not sure what it means, but I've chosen the little green circle arrow as my post's icon - to signify that I am going round and round and round in circles with this!!
