Hi Nikki, Can I ask you for another lookup JOSEPH & MARY BIRD in 1852 they were living at COLSTON STREET, BEDMINSTER. They would be aged about 34 & 33. In 1852 have one son George Richard Thanks Norma

Hi Norma Here they are Colston St, Bedminster 1861 Joseph Bird Head 33 Nail Maker St Phillips, Bristol Mary Wife 32 St Philips, Bristol Elizabeth Mother widow 73 (can't read the place of birth but looks like Hurford, Flamby???!!) George son 8 Scholar Bedminster, Bristol William son 5 Scholar Bedminster, Bristol Nikki

Thanks Nikki for finding my Birds. In 1871 he has his '84' year old 'daughter' living with him. Guessed it probably his mum, and it states birthplace Herefordshire. I will now look for some 'Flamby' sounding places around Hereford. Thank you SO MUCH Norma

Hi Nikki, I have masses of people in Somerset as my husband's family have never strayed far! But, before your heart sinks, I am specifically looking for: William Strickland age 10 in Kingston Sarah Ann Farmer age about 8 in Pitminster James Day age 30ish, hopefully in Norton Fitzwarren, probably a gardener. These are all my g.g.grandparents-in-law. Thank you ever so much. Best wishes, Sarah

Hi Nikki, Thanks for your offer - please could you look up WILLIAM WILTON living in Montacute - aged about 15-18 in 1861 - probably working as a stonemason. I would be interested in knowing the details of the household he was living in. Many thanks for your time, Stephanie

Hi Sarah Can't find Sarah Ann Farmer at the mo. Do you know any details of Sibling/Parents? Let me know if you do & I'll look again, think the details below are the others you're looking for. Nikki Kingston, Somerset 1861 (No specific address given) William Strickland Head 50 Ag Lab Oake, Som Ann Wife 44 Lab Wife Staplegrove, Som Elizabeth Dau 20 Home from Service Kinston, Som John son 18 Ag Lab Kingston, Som Sarah dau 15 Scholar Kingston, Som William son 12 Kingston, Som Charles son 7 Kingston, Som Ann dau 3 Kingston, Som Isaac son 2 Kingston, Som Norton Fitwarren, 1861 (Address looks like Sherpingreer - but I'm sure it can't be that!) James Day Head Head 30 Gardener Labourer Thurloxton, Som Sarah Wife 26 Stoke St Mary, Som James son 4 Scholar Cheddon, Som John William son 1 Norton Fitwarren, Som

Maggi As there is no transcription & no facility to search, it's just a case of scrolling through the pages street by street It's unlikely that I'll find your couple. Will keep my eyes peeled for you though! Nikki

Hi Stephanie William was not in Montacute at the time of the 1861 census I'm afraid. Sorry! Nikki

Thanks Nikki. It is possible that Sarah Ann Farmer's parents were called John and Betsey - but I don't know if that is leading me in the wrong direction. I don't know anything about siblings. Please don't waste too much of your time on it... Thanks again for your help. Regards, Sarah

Thanks for looking, Nikki. Stephanie
