You say he's a 'relative'............how did you work back to him?

If the 1881 posted above is correct..he is not recorded as a visitor

Have you been flexible in your approach when searching?

Hi, Many thanks for all your posts,

Jax, yes this is him.

K, Thank you

Reggie, In the 1881 census it says he is married so I could not understand why he wasnt with his wife and as I didnt know what her name was I was stumped !. Robert is a brother to my Great , Great Grandfather Richard Davies 1829. They are all in the 1841 census. Many thanks for your time and advice
