Hi, Trying to find my husband's family and they are English so I'm lost (mine is pretty much Scottish). Looking for Montague Phillipson (or Levi) and / or parents ?Moses Phillip Levi and ?Sophia Phillips - parents born ?1786/ 1787. Sorry about vagueness, but it's not my research and I'm after some hard facts if they could be found on a census - Maybe in London somewhere in 1841 as Montague married there in 1846, then emigrated to Australia. Not sure when parents died either? Thanks, Fiona

Thank you again Annette. SUE.

SUE, I searched birth date ranges 1808-1820 (all counties) and there is no trace of Esther on the 1891 or 1901. Annette

Hello Annette. Many thanks for your reply and the information. I have to apologise to you as I put the 1871 census and I meant to ask for the 1891. Same area and same name Esther Blunt. So sorry I know you would have spent some time looking in 1871 for me. However this family does (I think) have a connection to my Esther Blunt through her fisrt marriage to Thomas Smith. So it has given me a lead there. Many thanks and much appreciated. Regards. SUE.
