Let me know if you want them. For some reason couldn't get image for 1871. Long shot - but maybe Samuel Henry's dad was a man called Perkins????

Mike Thank you For all your help Bev

Hi all Bev, spoke to my aunty this morning who is home on a flying visit and it appears my ggrandfather was in India, in 1899 he was a shoe finisher according to his wedding cert but I can only find him on 1881 census. His name was Albert Victor Ward DOB 5-01-1872 born in Leicester. What is the best way to try and find him with this info Thanks, Elaine

Sorry Elaine i cant help you on that one probably someone who reads your message might know Bev Ps just put up a search on threads and there was someone doing india records last year it might be worth your while putting it up on records office board somebody there might be able to help you

Thanks Bev And so to Mike Hurst was right, have found them in 1871 and 2 granchildren are with them that night and they are the 2 eldest Wards plus Lucy who you found in 1861 is now a Moore which just happens to be my mums maiden name, it's all good stuff!!! Can't thank you enough Elaine

Maggie, That's fantastic. Thank you so much..and yes , have thought about the possibility of Perkins being the dad. After all, Samuels name seems a little odd. Have now managed to find Paling(Spelt Paylin!) on 1871 census - with Thomas going back to be a F.W.K...living in Leicester. What a great couple of days!! Thanks for your help... K

Mike, Thanks for all the help so far, still can't find Albert but will keep going Elaine

Can anyone recommend a map where I can place rels with the addresses I have rangeing 1871 to 1901 which would take in most streets, am not really sure if any have been renamed! Elaine
