Thankyou. I do apologise. William was born C 1849. I am not a fully paid member of Ancestry (can't afford it). That is why I am asking for help. As many would already know, I do as much research and go as far as I can before asking. I do not have any certificates or documents for these people, and those that are still alive in the family have no idea about these people. I also live in Australia, and have no access to the registries in England.
With my initial search for William Mackay I was able to bring up a selection of records to view, and I selected the 1881 census. As this had a familiar address, I got all excited (as we do), I tried to return to the list of names and records to see more, and for some reason it just plain refused to show me anything. After a refresh and redoing the info, no names came up. I'm guessing it's my computer as a similar thing happened while searching LDS.
I do appreciate any help given, even if I already have it, as there is always some little bit extra for the records.

You have not given a year of birth for William, and whether you have him in preceding censuses.
Could you copy over that 1881 census?
Thanks

Hi all. After a bit of a break, I am back researching a new and interesting branch of the family. By chance, I have found my GG Grandmother's brother, William Mackay Broomhead. From the records I have found, I am certain he is correct as his address is at 2 Ely Place, Bethnal Green as per the 1881 census. This address and neighbouring houses continually appear for several different ancestors. William was the son of James Broomhead (1815-1871) and Eliza Taylor (1815-1898). Brother to Eliza Broomhead (1841-?). Eliza married Henry Smith, they were my GGGrandparents. Also brother to Edwin, Edward, Caroline and Henry. (There may be more siblings) William Mackay Broomhead married Elizabeth Piper, daughter of William Piper. I am interested in finding more information regarding William, in particular the connection to his middle name Mackay, possibly through his mother Eliza Taylor, or through his Paternal grandmother Elizabeth (nee unknown), C1790-1882. Thanks for any help I can get.
