....................although in his GR tree Gary has incorrect birth year for Charles's son

This man is definitely connected, as Gary asked about Probate on another thread

Obviously, the birth year for this person is not tallying with Gary's info

Working back from Gary gives an entirely different potential family - if I've got the correct 'line'

If Gary thinks he was born in 1850, the odds are that he's taken that from age on censuses, so the birth is more likely to have been 1849

Not in Gary's GR tree, so no way of checking.

HI,
I'm fairly new to genealogy and need some advice, I am researching one of my ancestors, Thomas William Weller b 1850, I've been going through the census from 1851 to 1901, with good results, however Thomas is not registered in the census of 1861. I appreciate that a census is recorded on just one night, any suggestions as to where I can look for him in that time please.
