CLEAVER
Hello again Gail,
Marie is spot on!! All the census information is from A****y. If you are a newbie trying to search census records it is always worthwhile thinking out of the box. Transcriptions of any records on the web are only as good as the person interpreting them and the quality of the original records they are transcribing from and can thus vary enormously. Some of A*****y's transcriptions have to be seen to be believed, although having said this I have still found them enormously helpful in my research. Searching on christian names alone, surnames alone, first 3 letters and then a * can bring up a variety of names to be considered and often enables you to find the person you are searching for. If the person you are looking for comes from a small village or hamlet and you expect them to be there, it is often worthwhile searching the entire place which is obviously not practical for larger places.
The other sources for my info, I quoted in my original reply. There do seem to be quite a few CLEAVERs who married in Barby according to the Northamptonshire Marriage Index so perhaps a branch of your family originated or migrated there earlier.
Good luck and let me know if I can help further.
Janet
