Edward Owen and Family 1851
Posted: 10 May 2021, 17:25
Hello
I have a missing ancestor, my 3 x great grandfather, who I cannot find on the 1851 census.
His name is Edward Owen, born abt 1824 in Tipton/Bilston. His wife was Mary Ann (Nee Lowe) and in 1851 they have three children:
Susannah born 1846 in Bilston; Edward born 1848/9 in Walsall and Mathew born in January 1851 in Bloxwich. (I ordered his birth certificate in the hope it would have given an address - it just says Bloxwich as place of birth, and the same under mother's name).
Based on the fact they had a son in January 1851 I have failed to find them in Bloxwich when the census was taken a few months later. (their next child a daughter was also born in Bloxwich)
Edward is described as a Furnace Man, Furnace Labourer or Labourer in Ironworks.
On the 1861 census they are living in Bloxwich on Walsall Road. I have also tried to find Edward in the electoral registers but there is nothing for him.
I would love to fill in this missing piece of the Owen story, if anyone can help that would be great.
Thanks in advance
