Framing Potential Parents

Census records can give us specific details about a family--all we have to do is read the entry. However, sometimes the researcher needs to go beyond what an actual entry says in order to get suggestions for searching other records. This week we look at several census records from England and see what information it tells us about this 19th century family and how we can go beyond what the census actually says. Of course, "going beyond" does not mean that we read information that is not there into a record. Originally appeared 9 April 2009.
This article discusses a UK family's census entries from 1841-1871

I write "Casefile Clues" a weekly genealogy newsletter focusing on genealogy research methodology and interpretation. Every week I look at a record or a problem from one of the many families of my children scattered across the US and Europe. "Casefile Clues" does not try to "scoop" the latest news, rather I focus on using and interpreting records. My goal is to give you ideas to help you with your own research. Since 1995, I have written over 600 genealogy columns for both Ancestry and Eastman's Online Newsletter. My new columns for Casfile Clues are distributed only through this site.
