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

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

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

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

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

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

***Update - Hello everyone I haven't forgotten you but have been a very busy bee. Promise to get back to you all this Saturday (23rd April)*** Nikki

Hi Nikki, Than you for your offer. I am looking for a family of SWEETING'S in Thorne Falcon. Robert 56 Elizabeth 53 They had many children but I am really looking for JOSEPH who would be about 20 and did not marry until the following year so hoping he is still at home. In 1871 their address was Lower Ash Cottage, Thorne Falcon. Thanks Norma

nudge

Hi Nikki, Thanks for the offer! Could you kindly look for my WARD family living in Walcot, Bath. In 1851 they are living at 95 Snow Hill, Walcot and in 1871 thay are further up the road at 4 Snow Hill. They are Thomas P Ward b.1803, wife Rachel b.1800 and hopefully at least four daughters as well, Elizabeth, Hannah, Rachel and Mary. Many Thanks, Pippa

Nicki, Does this include Bedminster in Bristol. It sometimes appears on Somerset and sometimes appears on Gloucestershire? If Bedminster is there would you kindly see if you can find the following: William CREW born 1855 therefore approx 7. He would be living with his parents, his father being James. (There were 2 william CREWS born around the same time and they are cousins the other Williams father was Moses. Anything on either of these would be much appreciated as 1861 seems to be very difficult to get hold of. Pam (PS, I hve the 1851 Somerset if you would like anything from there)
