I am trying to find in the 1851 a John Connell, b 1834 Leeds (aged 17) and his little sister Eliza aged c10yrs, (estimated to be born in 1841) they also had siblings Catherine b 1832 (19yrs) James b 1830 (21yrs) and Ann b 1824 (aged 27yrs) all kids born Leeds to parents Martin & Margaret Connell. Help George

I did manage to search it, but no luck. can I suggest you put 1851 in your title Sam

Hi George Am I missing something? I thought Ancestry had hidden the 1851 again. Kate :)

http://content.ancestry*co*uk/Browse/list.aspx?dbid=8860&path= Heres the link to it :~)

Thanks George Just after I posted I found the other thread with the link. I'll have a look to see if I can find your John. Presumably you have him in the 1861? Kate :)

Yep, got him in 1861

Sorry George Checked all the variations I can think off, including wildcards, and can't find anything that seems even close to your family. Kate :)

I'm bit baffled I have John aged 28 in 1861 with wife Bridget and 3 young children, residing in Middlesbrough, his eldest boy John aged 9 was born Leeds. I have Eliza with her hubby Dennis/James Griffin in 1861 in Middlesbrough. George
