said he had a 'infant son' on the 1871 census. Now I can't find this son, so I was wondering if anyone else would like to have a try finding him, the writing is bad but I think it says 'under three months'. Did they even gave the boy a name before he died? :-(

Thanks for looking in. :-D

I think the 1871 census says under 1 month for the infant.
