Zoe Here's my mystery.... A family in 1851: Joseph Eveson head greengrocer 26 London, Smithfield (my ggg-) Eliza Elizabeth Eveson wife 27 Bath, Somerset (my ggg-) Joseph Eveson son 1 Surrey, Christchurch (my gg-) Susan Beale Wife's Mother 66 former laundress Bath Somerset (my gggg-) I can't find them in 1861. Joseph (the son) appears again in 1871, married. Where on earth are they in 1861????? It's driving me mad. They're hidden somewhere with a mistranscription.... I'll mail you a Mars bar if you find any of them in 1861 :o) Alan

Hi Zoe thanks for the offer of help. My mystery involves a missing rellie.... I am searching for a George Alfred Owen. Born abt. 1816 New Gate Street Saint Andrew Holborn Christened 17/11/1816. Parents Thomas Owen and Amelia Plank. Amelias Death cert gives George as Informant living withThomas and previously Amelia at 15 Charles Place Shadwell in January 1851. By the time the census happened on 31/3/1851 another family is living there and there is no sign of George or Thomas anywhere on the 1851 census. Thomas was born abt. 1774 and was an Engraver by trade. Thank you for any time you may give in trying to find him for me. Rachel
