Too late for Ancestry. you have to try 1837 on line Sorry Jess

michael- i cant find a Frank Trice born then in any census sorry

Hello Jess!!! Blimey - thanks for this. Do you think that Rooper could be a mistranscription/mispronounciation of Roper????? In your search, did it mention George's father's name at all anywhere??? Or do they appear as Roopers in other censuses??? The reason I ask is that I need to check that this George is indeed a brother and that I will have to consider a spelling variation in my search. But then, nothing would surprise me with this family. Thank you muchly :o)

Michael, did he have any brother or sisters do you know? Definate not Francis? Struggling to find him in 1881 Jess

Hi Jess. Yes, that's the family I'm after. All these grandchildren - I wonder who they belong too??? It looks like John and Elizabeth disappear in 1881. I know they have 2 children (James born 1877 and Lizzie (Elizabeth?) born 1881 (don't know when in 1881, before/after census) - all in Docking. Thank you very much for your help. I really do appreciate it. :o)

HEATHER- Did John have any other children besides John.What was his wifes name?

Because I thought that looking for one of John's children might help the search for the right John Roper. Sorry if this caused you some bother.

Thanks Jess. The ' William ' info is great. Not sure who all the grandchildren belong to at mo - they seem to grow with each census return!!!!! I don't think then ' John & Elizabeth ' is right. Could you see if you could find: James Roper, born 1887 Docking in the 1881 census? That might help! :O)

Sorry, Matilda Gladys was born 1887

Sorry Jess, I tried it and it took me to PRO but on 1891 link it took me to ancestry and they want to charge. Boo Hoo! Would you mind giving me it as a look up please? Many thanks Abigail Davies, Thomas and Matilda Steynton, Pembrokeshire, South Wales with Matilda Gladys aged nearly 4
