If any one has got access to the 1871 census I could do with some help please.
Am having difficulty reading the name on it. It shows Alfred King aged 10(trying to find if this is my great grandfather) as a grandson to an entry above. No parents mentioned.
Really stuck with my Alfred before before 1891.

Which area is it?

If it's the one for Risborough Monks, Buckinghamshire, ancestry has the grandfather's name transcribed as Ingram Hartage, age 71, Ag Laborourer.

On the 1901 census it has him as aged 40 from Bucks, hard to read but it looks like Cooktoon. On the 1891 census it has him as down as High Wycombe, Looks like Monks Risborough. both say he is a general Laborourer in London

On the 1891 census it also has a Alfred King b highwycombe listed with some of my grandfathers siblings this is why I am confused which Alfred it is . Do you know why there is not a 1881 census?
