  • 1871 help needed please

    Throughout their married life Thomas (b1816 Hardwick / Coventry)and Sarah (b1816 Chilvers Cotton / Kenilworth) Benson lived in the Holy Trinity area of Coventry. Occupation for both of them = ribbon weavers.

    I've found them in 1841, 1851, 1861, 1881 and 1891 ..... can anyone please locate them in 1871?

    Thanks

    There's a Thomas and Harriet Benson of the right ages, in the right area, in 1871. I wonder if Harriet was Sarah?

        Hi Mary and Val - Thanks for looking

        I saw that one too ... but wondered why she was Harriett in 1871 and Sarah on all other censuses ????

            That's a possibility ... it's little wonder that we sometimes go round in circles - enumerator errors, changing dates and places of birth, transcription errors etc
