Member Since: June 2005 Posts: 384 Send Message	Can someone please help me find Benjamin Richardson on the 1861 census. I can find him in 1851 living in Yorkshire and in 1871 living in Liverpool. His occupation should be Glass Bottle Maker I believe he married his wife Mary in about 1859 so he should be with her and son George W who was also born in about 1859 . Many thanks.

Member Since: June 2005 Posts: 384 Send Message	Many thanks greyghost for finding that and for the tip. Sorry for the delay in my reply. I have followed your suggestion and eventually found it. I do not know why that particular one was so hard to find. The others were not that difficult.
