Thanks in advance, Nigel Fairbairn

Hi could you also please look up george hedges 27 squirries street london and also amelia jenner 25 squirries street, these addresses are shown on there marriage cert and they got married in 1873 so not too long after the census of 1871, hoping to see the family of the pair of them, fingers crossed, thank you janet

Hi Lynda, thanks for looking, Lucia

Hi Lynda, I think that Newcourt Farringdon street is in Finsbury, but I'm not sure. Lucia

Lynda, you're a legend. Thanks so much. I didn't know about the two brother-in-laws - it goes to show that it's worth checking on every census, even if you're sure that you have the right family on one. Great to be able to confirm that Frederick's middle initial on the 1881 was mis-transcribed, too. Incidentally, his middle name was Gilbert, obviously named after his mother's maiden name, as shown by her brothers surname! kind regards, Richard in Oz

Thanks Lynda for looking for me, I very much appreciated it. Many thanks Angie.

Lynda One last possibility; Please try George Potter age 33 or 34 or Elizabeth Potter age 33 or 34, Westminster or Chelsea area 1871. If not I'll give up on this one. thanks Kevin

Hello Lynda, Could you look for anyone with name Lucas in Cambridge House, Blackheath and the name Gorbold in 10 Newcourt Farringdon Street? thank you for your help Lucia

Vivien There were no Waggs at number 40. The family Harrison lived there with lots of servants. Sorry Lynda

Tracy I did find Brook Road in Islington, but there were no Camerons there. Sorry. Lynda

Hi Lynda Would it be possible to look at East Street, Lambeth, for my HELM or MEATON family?

Hi Lynda Re my search request on page 13. Have you still got the 1861 census you could check for the same George Potter born c1837 living at 9 Nottingham Street, Marylebone, London. thanks Kevin

Hi Lynda Would you be able to check for John & Sarah Hunt. In 1881 they were at 38 Clarence Gardens (sorry - no suburb given, probably St Pancras area). Ages in 1871 would be about 35 & 32. They had a child Frederick, would be about age 1. Son's middle initial is transcribed as "E" in 1881, I suspect it should be "G" (Gilbert). That's if I have the right family! Also, if I can stretch the favour further - Charles & Jane Parsons. In 1881 they were at 22 Little George St (also in St Pancras area I think). Ages in 1871 would be about 44 & 41. Many thanks in advance, Richard in Oz

hi thank you for looking they should be in there 30,s 40's big family
