Hey everyone,
I'm trying to track down my G G G grandad Daniel Bill who was born in Dudley in 1839. I know he married Martha Grainger in 1859 and had their 1st child (my g g grandad Sam) in 1861. In 1871 Sam was living with Martha's parents, but I'm having trouble finding Daniel/ Martha in the 1861 census. We've done all sorts of searches - mis-spelled names, differing ages etc and nothing comes up - anyone got any hints? It's a mystery!
Thanks in advance
Emily
According to Free BMD Samuel was born Q2 1860 so he should be on the 1861 census too. However I have done a search, even just for a family of Daniel, Martha & Samuel with no surname and come up with nothing.

Although this looks more like Martha Phipps and William Bills who married in 1855.

Thanks Pheno and Derek
He does seem to be a bit of a conundrum! Maybe they were out when the census man called :D
