Thanks for looking at it Jess. Yes he is the same man. As soon as he marries Mary who is really Polly ( - that caused me a headache) he gets younger every year! I think it was the stress of having a much younger wife. He managed to die six years younger than he was - must be a miracle. Pippa

have done David's request on My thread when he asked!( and in some depth) Pippa - are you sure that is the same man? he seem so have lost 9 years in age betwen the two census that you have!

Hi Alter Ego, thanks for the offer. Can't find this family after 1891. In 1881 the family lived at 3 Star Row Llanvihangel Llantarnam Monmouthshire. RG 11/5271 F30 Page 10 Cornelius Baker h born 1851 South Staffordshire Engine Fitter Lydia Baker wife b 1850 Lantarnam Wales Sarah Baker d b 1870 ' ' Arthur Baker s b 1872 ' ' Mary A Baker d b 1874 ' ' Harriet Baker d b 1880 Burgess Hill Sussex Thanks again Alter Ego, Regards Lou

Hes in England in 1871,1881 and 1891,previous to that he'll be in Scotland i would have thought-you have to pay for access to those records -they arent on ancestry.

It all depends on what area-as a general rule though you are restricted to 1837 and familyrelatives that covers upto 1920. However there are certain areas that have bmd indexes going on after these dates but still havent been completed. Cambridge area is to my knowledge the best and is free.Cheshire has an ongoing project,and other counties likewise-try enteringthe county name and the letters bmd and see what comes up-the searches are usually year by year and surname based-but if you scroll down there is a way of doing a 20 year search in one go.

Hi, Would appreciate you guiding me to a site for births etc. 1n the 1900's. I have tried for ages for births between 1910 and 1950 no luck - cannot use 1837 - cos do not know exact years never mind birth dates. So hope you can help, thanks - Gillian S.

Alter Sorry, forgot to get back to the thread! Many thanks for looking for Henry Taylor. If you think you have found him , but can't prove it, is there anything I can do to try and prove it? Give me a clue. Thanks again Ellen.

Thank you Alter Ego, that is great. Susan

SUSAN>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> First choice is this:1861 census Charles head 53 Brass Caster(?) born Staffs Cheadle Hannah wife 52 Tailoress born same Sarah 23 William 19 tube maker James 17 John 14 Mary 11 all in the parish of northfields,Worcestershire second choice has the family in staffs,but james is not born there:parents are William 49 and Jane 47 in 1861

Hi Alter Ego Could you possibly find James Carr, born 1844 in Staffs. I am wanting to know the names of his parents, if possible. Thanks, Susan

Yes I have asked lots. I'm just hoping desperately that he's out there and someone with fresh eyes or a fresh outlook could find him. Sorry to have been a nuisance. Will delete request.

Hi, Many,many thanks for trying to find my elusive BAYLEY on the 1891 census, I will find him one day, I think I have located him in 1901 in Pentonville prison (wonder what he did) Once again many thanks Regards Shirley

Thank you for looking for me. Many thanks Irene

SHIRLEY>>>>>>>>>>>>> Cant find them in 1891 at all-there does seem a blind spot for a lot of lookups in this census-have looked at alternative surnames-ie baillie and bailey-the latter is quite detailed. Checked the parents and 2 youngest for deaths between 1881 and 1891-nope -not under bayley anyway. In 1901 Ive found refernce to a Joseph Bayley 24 years old as a servant ,thats all so far.

IRENE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ive checked British origins site for 1871 London,there are only about 5 Daniels,but without a job,cant go any further,also checked ireland and scotlad section for both names-nothing-your find with the amey looks your best bet so far.

Wiilam Brown/ I have asked for a look up in 1851 heres hoping they can be found. Might be another clue to be found. Many thanks Irene

Hi Many thanks for your kind offer. On the 1891 census I am looking for a JOHN BAYLEY born Holborn 1838/1840 I can trace him and family upto the 1881 census, (he was a printers labourer), they were living at 4 Pontypool Place, Southwark, London, then they all disappear. Any help would be appreciated Regards Shirley

IRENE>>>>>>>> That sounds very promising-naming a child with similar name to his mother. There are about 100 william brown births alone in middlesex june 1848 to june 1852 !! Is Limehouse anywhere close to Hornsea?
