Births Dec 1866
Chadwick Elizabeth H Huddersfield

but I cannot see him in any census in G.R. before 1901, to find his family.
Is he just one of those census shy people or has he had a name change?

Can anyone help me please?

Many thanks,
Frances

Thank you PricklyHolly but that was not the reply I was hoping for! I have been working on the family all evening and found all the Chadwick side back to c.1806, when they also fade.

Me too. I think you have to imagine how the family might have said their name. Being strong Yorkshire voices. Could be Ogsworth, Ockswith, Ogswuth, anything really. Will have another look.
