Hi again,
The one for the 1871 census is holborn, which is a part of london, i know its a big place but could be it. And he was about 10 in 1871 so that could be the right one margaret.
Might buy some pay as you go credits for Find my past. com tonight and look at the record for 1871 census.
Thankyou both very much for your help, if i get anything in the meantime will post it.
Kindest regards Janet

Ah you stars i think you have cracked it, holborn is on the border i believe, but that matches the only birth record i can find.
Will order the marriage cert i think as suggested then i know for sure if its the right one.
Thanks again ladies.
Very kindest regards Janet

P.s That was challenge for you eh? ha ha

Hi Janet
The Charles on the 1871 census is doubtful
on the 1881 census his occupation is a Print Compositor and yours was a labourer

No it is not the one in 1891 he is at home with his father James

You will have to take Margaret advise and get the marriage cert

I agree with Barbara about the 1871 being doubtful. Don't jump the gun, Janet, and make the newbie mistake of presuming that you've got the right person, only to have to re-do all your work when you realize he was the wrong one.

Hi Janet
Don,t know if you have tried this but I went on Search Trees at the top of this page and there are two people with Charles Wallbank 1859 Woolwich in their trees could be worth sending them a message
