Nicola Do you have any idea which area of Weston Bertha may be in? Weston is such a huge area it would take forever to search it without knowing an approximate location. Nikki

Thanks Nikki for finding the Sweetings. That is the first census I have him properly with his family. He has been put down as Jacob in 1851. Your help much appreciated. Norma

Nikki, I'm afraid I'm not sure where abouts in Bedminster as 1871 simply says 'Bedminster'. It doesn't appear to be until the later census that an address actually starts to appear. Excuse me if i'm being dim (and I usually am) but I don't really understand what 'indexed' means but if you do Ctrl and F cant you just put in william Crew and that will go directly to his name? As I said, i'm sorry if i'm being daft. If you can't find him easily don't worry about it. Many thanks for your time. Pam

Hi Pam The census has to be read in Adobe acrobat & it's not transcribed you have to scroll through scans of the original images, there's no way of typing in a search criteria, it's a real pain to be honest. I've got tomorrow morning free'ish so I'll start scrolling for you then & see how I get on. Watch this space!!!! Nikki

Hi Pam This is the only William Crew I can find that's about the right age, but sadly the parents don't fit. Bedminster Down, 1861 Samuel Crew Head 39 Coal Miner Bedminster, Som Phoebe Wife 35 Guernsey Samuel son 9 Scholar Bedminster, Som William son 6 Scholar Bedminster, Som George son 4 Scholar Bedminster, Som Elizabeth dau 1 Bedminster, Som RG9/1706 Nikki

Nikki, thank you so much for all you efforts. This is still part of the same family. I definately have a Samuel and Phoebe, just haven't fitted them in with Samuels parents yet. That's brilliant. Thanks again Pam

Hi Nikki thankyou very much for all the info on the Tovey family it is very kind of you John Joseph Henry are the older sons of John and Caroline So you found all their families Thank you Regards Patricia

Hi - I've just done a Somerset look-up for someone, but am having real trouble reading the census - thought an extra pair of eyes might help? I'm looking for JAMES CAVILL (Head), EMMA CAVILL (Wife), HENRY JAMES CAVILL (Son) and one other child - in Nailsea, Somerset. The ref is - RG9 1710. Could you take a look for me please and see if you think it's these people. Thanks Kaye x

Hi Kaye Some of the Nailsea images are almost impossible to read, the only Cavill's I could make out are: 176 Abi? Cavill head 73 Plasterer? Compton? Mary wife 62 b? Sorry I can't be of any more help. Nikki

Thanks Nikki - That's two I didn't see! I will let the person who asked for the look-ups know - sure she will be pleased. It's criminal that they charge money for these discs and then half of it's illegible!! Thanks Kaye x

Hi Nikki could you possibly have a look for Sarah HARSE for me - she was born approx 1851 in Blackford, Wedmore, Somerset and her father's name is George - it's not much to go on I'm afraid, but I'm trying to work out who was in the household in '61 and I can't find any record of her birth as yet. Her marriage cert states she was resident in East Brent in 1870 if that helps, but by 1871 and on all future censuses she was in Mark. Many thanks Sarah

Hi Sarah Here they are in both 1851 & 1861. Blackford HARSE George 35 Ag. Lab Mark Maria 35 Blackford Jane 8 Scholar Blackford Tom 6 Scholar Blackford Louisa 3 Blackford Sarah 3m Blackford Page/Folio 6/117 1861 Mark HARSE George 44 Ag Lab Mark Maria 45 Wedmore Thomas 15 Wedmore Sarah 11 Wedmore Martha 6 Wedmore Mary 6 Wedmore Hannah 6m Wedmore Page/Folio 9/1669 Nikki

Thank you so much Nikki - that all makes more sense now! Sarah

Nikki - the offer is really generous thank you so much and wonder if I can take you up on it for the following: William Bond and his wife Ann - lived in Bridgwater. In 1841 they were in South Road, in 1851 they were in Hamp and in 1871 they were in 5 Craises Buildings, Taunton Road. William would have been approx 63 and Ann approx 61 and he worked in Bricks. Any help you can provide very gratefully received. Best wishes Helen

Hi Helen Found them living on Taunton Rd in 1861, no property number or name listed though. 1861 Taunton Road, Bridgwater William Bond Head 62 Labourer Bridgwater, Som Anne Wife 61 Pollett, Som RG9/1624 Nikki
