Hey this looks like it K - am I totally blind then? ; )

just tried to call this up myself again on FMP but it still does not show - any special search criteria I need please? thanks

I found this on Ancestry - Will check FMP - Can't find them on 1901

thanks, can you see an actual address for 1891 and I will try that? : )

FMP is possibly Collin for 1891

COLLIN, Oswald L

yes that is deffo the 1891 entry....thank you....Just need 1901 now if it exists : )

Strange as they do not appear to have a Harold in 1891

This looks like the FMP version that Glitter Baby found - I wonder if the enumerator just misheard Oswald.

just looked at that 1901 entry - and yes it clearly says Harold as you say - could this just be the enumerator mishearing do you think? everything else fits. Wonder why despite me ticking "include varients" did it not pick up Collin? never mind

thank you for your help on this - greatly appreciated :D

I agree again - does look like Alice death as well : (
So a BG THANKS for sorting this - I shall ensure I confess you did it when I pass the info to my friend : )
