tried going on to the family search website to check the 1881 census but cant open it up keeps saying cannot find server can you help jamie

Sorry for delay - rushing up and down the stairs trying to keep up with Welsh football - so far so good! As Ozi says, there are a few options in 1881 and 1871. I think your next course of action is to find William's marriage - might need a birth cert of one of children to find Thirza's maiden name. I've had a look for the marriage, but nothing showing on free part. Ok, so I was looking in Bristol. You can tell, I'm a bit rusty now!

christine and lesley i have managed to get on the 1881 census i believe i may have found him being a railway shunter foreman i believe he would have had to a specialized school. on the 1881 census i have found a william williams born bristol in 1867who is a scholar at the catholic industrial school in church street cannington, somerset, does this help in finding him on other censuss jamie

I've tried looking at census images for 1891 both in England and Wales, but can't see him as a railway worker. Maybe Lesley will have more luck!

Christine

Christine Report 11 Oct 2006 22:20

Told you Lesley would find it! Well done!

Jamie

Jamie Report 11 Oct 2006 22:25

well done lesley, knew you could find him now then, 1871 what do you reckon thanks jamie

Jamie

Jamie Report 11 Oct 2006 22:31

christine i know its a strange question but do you have the colin/couling surname in your tree jamie

Christine

Christine Report 11 Oct 2006 22:35

No Jamie, those names do not appear in my tree. Sorry.

Christine

Christine Report 11 Oct 2006 22:37

I still think your best bet now is to order his marriage cert - his father's name should be on that, which would help in 1871 search.
