I am trying to trace the family of Alfred Brewer born c1867 in Epsom Surrey. In 1881 he was living with his sister Emily and her family but we would like to know his parentage and am hoping the 1871 census may help.
Most grateful for any help.
Thank you.
Shirley

Same family in 1861, sister Emily is here. (she was a servant in another household in 1871). Of course Alfred isn't born yet.
High St., Epsom, Surrey
William Brewer, head, 57, labourer, born Somerset, North Curry
Hannah, wife, 27, born Epsom
Egbert, son, 15, born Kent, Lewisham
Emily, dau, 7
William, son, 5
Albert, son, 3
Frederick, son, 8 months
Other children all born Epsom.
(Looks like Hannah is a second wife, Egbert too old to be her son)
