Vikki, Thanks very much for that - really appreicated. Best Wishes, Nigel

Thanks Vikki, but I'm not sure whether it's him. Ashbury seems a bit too far away from Reading, which he gives as his birthplace. My problem is that sometime between 1871 and 1881 he leaves the area completely and gets married in Worcestershire, it's making it very difficult to trace him. I suppose he must have travelled up on the rivers/canals. If there are any other possibilities for him I'd be interested to see them, but otherwise thanks for your help anyway :)

Hi Rosemary I'm sorry I haven't managed to find issac, could you tel me when Edward was born though and I will see if he is there or where he was born Vikki

Hi Vikki, Didn't realise Berkshire 1871 is online now. It might be a bit of a long shot, as Jones is such a common name, but I'm looking for Henry Jones age about 25 and unmarried, I don't know much else apart from his father is Thomas Jones (but obviously he may not be living with him) and he's from the Reading area. They're also going to be working class type people, so no big houses with servants! Thanks if you can help! Liz

HI Vikki, sorry if i have already asked for this, but is there an Edward Arthur and Sarah Arthur on the 1871 census in Worcestershhire with a son Issac about 1 year old. Tis is the illusive family I cannot find anywhere, they could have beeni n Montgomeryshire but Isaac was born in Worcestershire in 1870. They would have been about 24 - 30 years od Thanks Rose
