I was wondering if anyone could help me? I went to the Family Records Centre today and looked at the census returns. The problem is is that I cannot for the life of me read what some of the words are. Is anyone out there willing to help me please? |

Did you make a note of the ref numbers for the pages, or make a note of anyone on the pages you COULD read???? if yes, post what you know and many of us can view the pages on Ancestry..... Merry |

forgive me - I think its the 1871 census - forgot to make a note of it on the copy. RG10 1058 - James Mills. He was a pauper - quite sad really as his sons had money. In the occupation bit - does it read imbecile? Also can you read what the address says - I know its in East Grinstead. |
