This census is the ONLY record I have of Sydney. I can't find a birth, another census or a death.

Having said that I can't find births for many of his siblings either!

The only sibling missing (apart from Sydney) is Mary Jane who died in 1863.

Can anyone throw any light on Sydney? I really don't know why I have him as Sydney Bailey Bailey.

Something I don't understand, Jude, is that you say that Thomas & Jane Llewellyn are your gt. grandparents so their grandson Sidney is the same generation as your parent. But he was born 1853. Is that possible?

Sorry missed a great out!!!! ha ha!

Ann Llewellyn/Bailey was the sister of my (real) great grandfather Lewis llewellyn!!

Jude

To clarify

Me 1950's...my dad 1920's..my grandad 1880's...my great grandad 1830's...my great great grandad 1807ish

Sydney's mother 1829....

Gotcha! I thought, maybe you were 100 years old or so.

I can't find anything on Sydney, Jude.

Yeah I'm a witch Margee!!!! It was confirmed today...I am trying to persuade my boss to spend £4000 on a new photocopier which also is a printer, a scanner and a fax. On the basis that the colour printer we have is ten years old and can't last much longer...that was what I said last Thursday.....and yesterday the printer conked out :-)

I sometimes feel a hundred mind ;-) ;-)

No Margee...I couldn't (was really wanting everyone to say to me that I wasn't being stupid)
