    Default stuck on going back from 1901

    Good Morning,
    really need some help please, Looking for a Joseph Harris I,ve only found him on the 1901/1911 census living at 11, Thorold Street Bethnal Green, London, with his wife Sarah and Children My connection is with the son Joseph 1889. cannot find a marriage nor baptism, for their children, both the census say Born Cambridge but have not been able to locate him at all! really would be good to find the Mothers maiden name, also tried to find his brother Alfred but it seems he vanished as well.
    regards

    What are other children's names I cant find a Joseph or Alfred Harris born in Cambridge in FreeBMD.

    What are parents date of birth on the 1901 and 1911 census are they the same, what is Joseph's occupation on the census.

    This Joseph is a boot maker, born Whittlesford Cambridge. His age is out though, but Joseph 1901 and 1911 has different years of birth. I lose track of him after 1891, perhaps we should try finding the children and Rebecca (I don't think they married, so she could be under Thompson)

    1891, 34, Cromwell Rd, St Giles Essex, RG12; Piece: 1407; Folio: 17; Page: 4
    Joseph Harris 46, boot maker, Whittlesford
    Rebecca Harris 43, wife, Norwich
    Herbert Harris 20, boot trade, Ipswich
    Flora Harris 19, dressmaker, Ipswich
    Beatrice Harris 9, Ipswich
    Ellen Harris 8, Ipswich

    1881, 30 Church Lane, Ipswich. RG11; Piece: 1868; Folio: 59; Page: 3
    All children born Ipswich
    Joseph Harris 37, boot maker, Whittlesford
    Rebecca Thompson 34, housekeeper, boot machinist, Norwich
    Joseph George Thompson 12
    Herbet H. Thompson 10
    Flora M.H. Thompson 9
    Charles E.H. Thompson 6
    Isabella H. Thompson 2
    Beatrice H. Thompson 3 months

    1871, Ipswich. RG10; Piece: 1749; Folio: 23; Page: 7;
    William Gardiner 36
    Elizabeth Gardiner 33
    Arthur Gardiner 4
    Marrian Smith 72
    Joseph Harris 27, lodger, boot maker - master, Norwich??
    Rebecca Harris 24, sewing machinist, Norwich
    Joseph G Harris 2, Ipswich
    Harris 3 Weeks (Herbert?), Ipswich

    Children registered under surname THOMPSON with the middle name HARRIS.
    Births Mar 1881, Ipswich vol 4a, page 701, Beatrice HARRIS Thompson.
    Births Jun 1879, Ipswich vol 4a, page 696, Isabella HARRIS Thompson
    Births Jun 1871, Ipswich vol 4a, page 608, Herbert HARRIS Thompson
    Births Mar 1883, Ipswich vol 4a, page 751, Ellen HARRIS thompson

    Joseph George has possibly been entered twice on FreeBMD, under both Thompson and Harris
    Births Mar 1869, Ipswich, vol 4a, page 654
    Joseph George Harris; Joseph George Thompson.

    Births Jun 1874, Ipswich 4a 653, Charles Edward H Harris

    Found this, so perhaps the above isn't your guy.

    Name: Joseph Harris
    Estimated Birth Year: abt 1843
    Registration Year: 1895
    Registration Quarter: Jan-Feb-Mar
    Age at Death: 52
    Registration district: Colchester

    I don't think the family at #8 are yours either as theyy are here in 1891 RG12; Piece: 277; Folio: 36; Page: 15
    And here in 1901 RG13; Piece: 303; Folio: 127; Page: 4
