Help tracing Thomas B Kilner, Hudderfield -1881 census

[calliek]

Hello,

I'm hoping someone can help me trace Thomas Bamforth Kilner b 1855 ( or 1856) in Hudderfield. I was able to find him on 1861, 1871, and 1881 census at one point but have no idea where I found that info( in my excitement of actually finding him I neglected to bookmark that reference) I have since found a reference to him on Ancestry.com that confirms his marriage to Mary Elizabeth Thwaite and his death in Canada, but no dates and I can't proceed any further without paying to join the site.

I have read through a number of threads on this forum that discuss the Kilner name and wonder if my Thomas is connected to Thomas and Harriet Kilner of Carr House- none of their descendants seem to line up with my info but the Ancestry.com references is linked to the Carss family tree which seems too close to be coincidental.

Any help with specific info on Thomas or general info on how to find and use census data and any other resources would be greatly appreciated!

Possibly!
But according to my records he would have been married at this point and had a son born 1873 so maybe it's not him. I'm not sure when he came to Canada either.

Wow Julie- you are amazing! Thank you!

Can you find a record of their son William? I have William' marriage to Mable Finn April 29 1907 in Brussels ON that lists his age as 34 (which is why I have his birthdate as 1873) The surname shows up as Kilmer in the Huron county maariage records of 1907.
