Living with Elizabeth Small age 45 Occ: Publican and her family at East St, Taunton, Somerset. Could this be him? Regards, Annette

Hi It could be as The occupation Van Guard seems to be a family thing Julie

TRISH Haven't found any yet with spelling of Grieveson but have found this family on the 1871 with a son born in Sunderland: Head: George Grieves 38 Occ: Boiler Smith b.Pebbleshire, Scotland Wife: Mary Grieves 38 b. Catherstone, Yorks Son: Robert P Grieves 19 Occ: Labourer b. Sunderland Lod: George Wm Spotswood 2 b. Middlesborough Living in Elswich, Northumberland Do you have any other info eg. Robert's parent's names??

No sorry Annette. The name is definitely Grieveson, I have him on the 1901 and 1891 with his wife and family. Don't worry, he seems to be very elusive. Tricia

Hi, Annette, would you mind looking up HENRY SCHIMP, BORN C1853 / 54, WHITECHAPEL, MIDDLESEX, please ? I have his marraige certificate which states his father as Conard or Conrad. I then sent for a birth certificate only to find the father given as Philip ! If Henry can be located prior to his marraige ( 1878 ), I might determine who his father really was ! Many, many thanks, Donna.

TRISH Do you have his parents names?: There are 3 families (surname GRIEVES) on the 1861 living in Northumberland with a son Robert. You can sometimes find a variation in the surname for the same family - I've got one family with 3 different spellings on Censi! Annette

sorry Annett, I don't know what his parents were called. please don't spend too much of your time on it. Tricia
