Hi Thank you for the offer of help Im tracing the parents of Isaac Lamb born 1875 in hampshire....how vague is that??? awful i know. also the parents of joseph mercer born in pevensey 1806 sussex Thanks Diane

Opps re above ...... Please could you check them out in the 1841 census I have got them covered in 1871. Thanks Felicity

Dear Lorraine Please could you look up masses of people for me in London & Middlesex. Please could you give me the HO reference number too. I'm afraid I have a long list: 1)Arabella Fraser probably at 10 Old Street, Holborn (St Luke's), widow of a coppersmith, born circa 1780-90, possibly with her son Thomas Fraser Wilkins b 1811 and maybe a daughter Grace b 1821. 2)William Pickford Wilkins b 1819 Finsbury ( son of Arabella) also a coppersmith possibly in 10 Old Street. 3)Mary Ann England b 1820 Holborn who married the above WPW in Dec 1841 in Bermondsey but who isn't in Dockhead, Bermondsey in 1841 because some other kind person (Sue) checked it out for me. 4) Thomas (b 1794 Spitalfields/ Clerkenwell a broker) and Mary Ann Stanley (b 1797 St Sephulcres) were at St Georges Terrace, Islington parish of St Marys or Trinity in 1851. Children John 1824, Charlotte 1826, Phoebe 1828, William 1830, possibly Thomas 1830-5, Mary Ann 1837 and Emily 1838. 5)John Stanley (their son) b 1824 Holborn was a grocer in later life so could be a shopkeeper's assistant That's my lot ! If you are able and willing please may I send a list of my husband's London ancestors to you in the future. Many thanks Felicity Sanderson

Hi Jean, Did you miss off the surname?????? or am I going mad and is his wife over 100 years younger than he is ...Lol..... Lorraine

Hi Loraine, I am looking for Abraham/Abram Riddle c1788 with wife Ann c1794 they will be in Midsomer Norton or Clandown Somerset. Maybe children Mary 1837 and Ann at home. Many Thanks Jean.

Hi Elaine, Sorry don't have the Yorkshire census,I have tried other Counties but to no avail,sorry Lorraine

Thank you Lorraine for the info Star

Thanks heaps Lorraine, I had Benjamin listed as being born in Bath, but I had a nagging suspicion he was born in Exeter, so knowing he wasn't born in Bath helps a lot. Stuart

Hi stuart, Both Benjamin and Joseph were born out of County,don't say where. Lorraine

Thanks Lorraine, The years are all about 1-3 years different from what I have recorded, but it's close enough. Benjamin did have a brother name Joseph, who retired to Bath. What I would really like to know is whether the two of them were born in Bath, Somerset, as I have some indications that they might have been born in Exeter, Devon (and I have a lot more leads to go from there) Did the census forms say whether they were born in the county or not? I know there was 'a' George Stothert who was Ironmonger and passed the compnay on to his sons (The firm Stothert and Pitt still exists and its history says so). I don't know if it the same person though. As for Elizabeth, I know she was alive in 1841, but I now have enough information for her. So if you could tell whether Benjamin and Joseph Bartrum were born in Somerset then that would be great. Stuart

Dear Lorraine Thanks very much for looking. The search goes on! Nick
