    Thank you
    This is the same family but Elizabeth isn't with them.
    Spellings as indexed on Ancestry.
    1861, Tipton. RG 9; Piece: 2044; Folio: 47; Page: 40
    Sydney Barford 38; Esther Barford 38; Jane Banford 17; Eunice Banford 13; Mary Ann Banford 8;
    Hannah Banford 5; Thos Banford 3; Samuel Banford 1

    On the same census sheet in 1861, could be Sydney's brother.
    William Banford 32, puddler, Tipton; Caroline Banford 34, Wednesbury; Isaiah Banford 1/12, Tipton

    This could be Elizabeth in 1861 with her uncle.

    Marriages Jun 1869

    I lose Elizabeth after 1861, I searched for Staff's marriages between 1864 - 1881 however nothing jumped at me, same with deaths.

    That's amazing , Thanks so much !!!
    I've got plenty to think about untangling the families over the decades, its such a relief to see them popping up every 10 years. I had seen various Bamfords but never a away to connect them.
    I'm sure that is my Elizabeth as a servant.
    Esther's mystery of where and who she was with till she married remains but a big, big thank you.

    Esther's mystery of where and who she was with till she married remains but a big, big thank you.
    I share your frustration. I've searched all Esther's born 1864 +/- 2yrs in Staffordshire without using a surname and haven't found her. I'm wondering if she used one of her other names (Ann or Elizabeth). I also searched using Ester and Easter.

    How certain are you that she was cared for and lived with a family named Williams?

    If there's anything else we can help with don't hesitate to ask.
