Find Ancestors

I am looking for a William Harrison in the 1871 London Census but it is a long shot. I would say he would be about 20 years old living in bermondsey and he could well be married to a lady called clara E. ? . If not it would be his parents. I am sorry if there is not enough information here but it is all that i have got. thank you

I've fonud a William Harrison living with wife Clara E in 1881 census. He was born in 1844

thank you tracy that is who i am looking for. i am strugging to find William Harrison's parents I thought he might be living with them in the 1871/1861 census

Have sent you email by the way!

Hi Melvyn I have the London 1871 census, but it is addressed searched. If you can find an address I will look it up for you. Lynda

found the email thanks. Would they christen babies two years after there birth? Harrison seems to be a common name in this area of london, I don't know london at all.Has Bermondsey always been in london?

I do recall that Bermondsey was in London and now in Surrey - think it's to do with border line change. And christening do often get done years after birth.. it's difficult to tell really - unless knowing the birth date

Hello Lynda on the 1881 Census the address is 69 Cornbury Rd Deptford St Paul, Kent, England I don't know if this covered by the 1871 london census thanks for looking

lets hope bermondsey was in London in 1871 and not Surrey

Hi Melvyn Bermondsey doesn't come in the London census. Deptford St Paul came under Greenwich in the London census. I did a Street search for Cornbury Road, and that wasn't in the index. Is there another part to the address? Lynda

I have just checked my records and Deptford st paul came under Kent in the 1881 census

Melvyn It must have changed the bounderies between 1871 and 1881 and perhaps Cornbury Road wasn't built in 1871. Hope you find who your looking for. Lynda
