Hi Sally Thank you for trying on Robert Tucker, that one was not mine, mine was born Wandsworth registration area in 1885. He's very elusive. Thanks Christina

Hi Sally, Could you look up Edith Alice Spratford in 1901 for me please, she would have been around 28ish and was married to John William, she was born Headcorn Kent, and was living in Willesborough at the time. Many thanks Belle.

Hi Sally, Thanks very much for the look up, you have just solved a small mystery for me, as I already had the 1901 census read out for Frank Marden Wood, not realising that Edith and William were his sister and brother in law, not too sure what to make of the age discrepencies though. Many thanks once again. Belle.

Hi Sally I was wondering if you could look up a couple for me. They lived at 29 Dante Road, Newington Surrey in 1881 havnt found them in 1891 yet. There names are John Davis born Lambeth he was a french polisher and in 1901 he would be about 56 and his wife Matilda Davis age about 50 she was also born in Lambeth. I would love to know if they are still at this address and if they had any children with them. Thank yo so much for the offer. Debbie

Debbie Sorry to be so long, have been searching for your Matilda easier than looking for John, 3 came up all in 50's but, now with a John . Fred. Edward and Thomas/ I won't give up though. Still looking.

Hello Sally, thankyou very much for your kind offer. I would like to know more about the houehold of Emma Binns, age 69, born in London in the district of St George's, Hanover Square and living in Islington. Thanks once again, Catharine

CATHARINE. Josh Binns 71 born Bradford Yorks Emma wife st george living 32 spencer street Islington. also found living next door. Edward Binns 35 cellerman Clara wife 29 Do you think these are connected and do you want me to look on 1871 census? Sally.

Hello again, Sally, Thanks very much for that info. I would be very grateful if you could find look for Josh (also known as Joseph) Binns on the 1871 census. From the the 1881 census of the LDS it looks as though he was living in York at that time with his widowed Mum, Mary. But he's down as married altho' no wife's name appears and I would be really interested to see who he was married to in 1871. Thanks again for oyur help, Catharine

Catharine. Josh(joseph) must have been living in Yorkshire in 1871 ancestry does not cover Yorks in that census yet Sorry.

Hello Sally, No problem, I'll hunt him down one of these days. Thanks again for your help, Catharine
