abigail try this one census(.)pro(.)gov(.)uk Remove the bracket tho!

Jess, I am looking for another tip! I want to look up Matilda Davies, born Steynton, 13th April, 1887. Mother Matilda Clarke, Father Thomas Davies. I have looked on Freecen and googled, Freecen does not cover Pembrokeshire and everywhere else seems to want minimum of £5 to start. Is there anywhere else I could look before asking for a look up? Thanks Abigail

Jess. What are people so dam difficult to find?? I will try to get the marriage details to see how old James was and will get back to you if you are still doing look up's. Thanks

Jan, the only ones with a G are these: thought the ones with out might be a better bet Elizabeth Hoskings 25 Stokenchurch, Buckinghamshire, England Wife Stokenchurch Buckinghamshire Elizabeth Hoskings 64 St Georges, London, England Widow West Ham Essex Elizabeth Hoskings 19 Liverpool, Lancashire, England Wife Toxteth Park Lancashire Elizabeth Hoskings 69 Hilston, Cornwall, England Patient [Wandsworth] London Elizabeth Hoskings 21 Sheffield, Devon, England Daughter Heeley Yorkshire Elizabeth J Hoskings 22 Camborne, Cornwall, England V;se Wilton Somerset Elizabeth R Hoskings 42 Falmouth, Cornwall, England Wife Bristol Gloucestershire

Decisions, decisions. I don't think it is either as there is a marriage for her to a James Hosking with a g and she was Elizabeth Mary. The first one is the nearest but she is just a little bit older. Don't know what to suggest. Sorry. Jan

Jan: you have a choice 1) Elizabeth Hoskin 32 Paul, Cornwall, England Wife Paul Cornwall John Hoskin 34 Paul, Cornwall, England Head Paul Cornwall or 2) Cathrine Hoskin 65 Zennor, Cornwall, England Wife St Buryan Cornwall Edwin Hoskin 25 St Buryan, Cornwall, England Son St Buryan Cornwall Elizabeth J Hoskin 29 Paul, Cornwall, England Daughter-in-law St Buryan Cornwall Evelyn Hoskin 16 St Buryan, Cornwall, England Daughter St Buryan Cornwall Florence A Hoskin 1 Buryan, Cornwall, England Granddaughter St Buryan Cornwall John Hoskin 67 St Buryan, Cornwall, England Head St Buryan Cornwall Joseph T Hoskin 29 St Buryan, Cornwall, England Son St Buryan Cornwall ..................................................................................... let me know which you want details of Jess

Hi Jess. Can you check the 1901 for me. I'm looking for Edward Pascoe Lawrey or Lawry born 1870 in Parr Cornwall. He would be 31/32. Can you see an address or other family members. Thanks.

Abigail, this less -is-more theory only works if you are looking for an unsual name UNLESS yo want to look for John Born LONDON....and spend 3 weeks looking thru the results!! Always pick out the unsual christian name to look for first (then you will realise what you thought was unsual wasn't at all!!) jess x

Jess, You are so right! I would never have believed that they could find someone with no surname! It has worked! Thanks for your help - I should be so much more successful with it now! Love Abigail

Here you are then Abigail - had to check that it would work (they're there...!!) try this, and just this CARRIE 1890+/- 2 COUNTY :DEVON Sometimes LESS is MORE!! if you dont find them let me know Jess x

Never mind, can't win them all!, Thank you so much for looking all that up for me, thats given me so much to go on, I think my brickwall may have been knocked down!! :) :) :) :)

sorry to dissapoint you, he was a Print Press maker

Wow Jess, what can I say!! Thank you so much!! Hopefully this is my Walsh family, it certainly looks extremely likely. Can I be so cheeky as to ask you one more thing? Does it say what the Head of the households occupation was in 1901, my Gt Grandfather was a Hackney Carriage driver, and I have always wondered if it was a family trade. Thank you so much, Sarah :D
