Have researched back to my GGG GF, James Gullidge who was born c.1810-1811.
I can track the 1851 England Census when he was married and had children -
was rather hoping to find him 10 years earlier a son rather than a head of
household - thus going back a further generation. Despite a rare surname
matters seem to be complicated by 2 similar dates for his son James circa
1855/7. I believe my relative was born a twin with Jane in Dec 1854.
But there are no records for a James Gullidge 1811 in the 1841 census - any
suggestions. He originated from Middlezoy, Somerset, England and married
Ann from Huntspill, Somerset, England (?Loyde born 1812).
My research has to date been done using the net (subscribe to Ancestry).
Why would he disappear of the face of the Earth? There are other
Gullidges/Gullages etc about that era in Somerset - your help would be
appreciated.

read it all nad note:-
*The ages of people over 15 years old were *usually* rounded down to the
nearest 5 years.
Therefore, someone who was actually 24 years would have their age listed
as 20, and someone who was actually 27 years old would have their age
listed as 25.
NB *usually* !!
some ages are true ages if you are so lucky

I think I found him, but his age is off. There's a James Gullidge, aged
25, laborer, in Huntspill. Ann, aged 25, Alfred, aged 7, George, aged 2.
Class: HO107; Civil Parish: Huntspill; County: Somerset; Enumeration
District: 4; Page: 6; Line: 1; GSU roll: 474599.
The age of George Gullidge in the 1841 matches up with the age given for
George in the 1851. It's the ages of the parents, James and Ann, that
differ so much.
Hope that helps,
Cathy

Hugh,
Thanks for that bit of information. I hadn't known that - I've done a
bit of looking at the UK stuff, but not a whole lot.

Re: Researching Gullidge
Hugh and Cathy,
Original was not cross-posted but posted to two separate NGs, one of which
is specific to UK but I wished to try for help from a wider audience. Thank
you both for your help. I didn't know about rounding down of ages - that is
really useful info.
I shall delve back down into the weeds of these documents with renewed
vigour.
