Thanks a lot Sheila - so it only gives Yorkshire for Joseph seniors birthplace. How frustrating! Much appreciate your efforts though. Kate

Hello Sheila. I am hoping you can find a listing for John Bray on the 1871 and 1881 census for Scotland. I have a note here that he married a Catherine Kelly in Nov 1870 and that she was a few years older than him. He was a sheomaker born in Ireland c1838. Thanks for your help. Margaret

Hello again Sheils - please could I trouble you for another look up. 1861 census - Copt Hewick, Yorks Joseph Wilson c65, Sarah (wife) c65 - Please could you tell me where Joseph was born as in '51 it says East Witton and '71 Thornton Steward. Thanks a lot. Also I have a note that they have a granddaughter with Mary Ellen with them. Please could you tell me her birthplace as well? Many thanks. Kate

Sheila, Thansk for looking up William Mason, before I go off and buy a copy does it have any other info on it as it doesn't seem to confirm a year of death. I presuem the registration date of 1893 was his birth year as that is also what I have. Could you possibly look for the marriage of these two people in Leicester between 1866-1870.
