Hello im really struggling to find Charles Geeves and family, he was born abt 1814 in Middlesex or Waltham Abbey Essex I have found the family in the 1851 census H0107 1540 529 Page 7 And also i believe to be the same family in 1891 RG12 1364 140 Page 6. although it gives his place of birth as Essex and his recorded age is way out the original image is 77 not 47!. and maria his wife, gives her place of birth as Southend same as the 1851 census. now i cant find any trace of them in the census years 1841, 61, 71 and 81 charles died in 1893. All help much appreciated. Sharmala.

1851 for ref Anne Geeves 4 Mo Charles Geeves 36 Emilis Geeves 5 Maria Geeves 37 southend Maria Geeves 7 Susannah Geeves 2 children all born & living in Bethnal Green

Hello Could i please ask for any help again to trace this family in the 1841, 61, 71, and 81 census please?? its driving me mad! no worries if you cant, but sometimes a fresh pair of eyes can really help. Thanks Sharmala.

I have searched and searched for them, Sharmala. on all of the censuses, using first names only, last names only etc. I don't know how they can be missing from all of them, but they are! Margaret

Thanks margaret for looking, was hoping i was just not looking properly, it does seem like they just dissapeared without trace between 1851 and 1891 typical. oh well maybe they just didnt want to be found!. Thanks Sharmala.

A possible for daughter Susannah in 1871 which might suggest they were still in that area.
