Hi Amanda, Sorry to hear you've had a bad week hopefully these records are your rellies and it'll go some way to making you feel better. RG12/2413, Folio 81, page 13 Bordesley, Aston, Warwickshire 61 Parrish Street Thomas Lee, head, mar, 40, tube drawer, Birmingham St. Johns Emma Lee, wife, mar, 50, Birmingham Ladywood George Lee, son, sing, 16, Groom, Birmingham Ladywood RG12/2414, Folio 19, Page 31 Bordesley, Aston, Warwickshire 46k 3/5 Garrison Lane Ann James, head, mar, 48, charwoman, Sutton Coldfield Frederick James, son, 12, Birmingham Thomas Toft, brother, sing, 32, General Labourer, Birmingham Annie T Toft, niece, 14, Erdington Benjamin Ravenscroft, boarder, sing, 38, brick burner, Worcestershire This last record is very faint so it is possible that she is infact Annie L Toft. I've checked every spelling of Annie as well as Louise and Toft - this is the only record!

By the way there too, Lucy, where does the 1891 census cover? Does it cover Ireland? Have some rellies in Northern Ireland, and some leaves missing on my tree.

Thanks for getting back to me Lucy, I really appreciate it! Having a really bad week so this is my bright spot in an otherwise dismal world. Georgie was born on Sept 14 1875 in Birmingham, Warwick and Anna (or Anne or Annie) was born on Aug 2 1876 in Coventry. Some said she came from Stratford, we're not entirely sure. They were married actually in 1897, I oopsed a little. So George would be in Birms and Anna would be ???? George had a brother we know was named Walter, we only know that because Anna was supposed to marry him and not our Georgie. Scandlous. Thanks again for looking for me! Amanda

Hi Amanda, I can't find anything immediately for either George or Anna. Do you have approximate ages for them?

Hi Amanda, I can't find anything immediately for either George or Anna. Do you have approximate ages for them?

Anna Louisa's maiden name was Toft, if that comes up as well. They were married in September of 1891 but I don't know if they were when the census took place. I think they lived in White Owl Road. Thanks again!

Hi Lucy! Can you look up the name Lee, George Henry in Birmingham or Lee, Anna Louise in Birmingham as well? I'd very much appreciate it! Thanks! Amanda

Thanks very much Lucy - much appreciated. I didn't know my great-grandad was a PLOD. Perhaps I can investigate him a little bit further now. Your help much appreciated. Jacqui

Thank U Lucy - keep u the good work we do appreciate it

Hi Patricia, I'm sorry I can't find anything exact for you the two closest are Charles Baker with son Harry (4) and Harry Baker with father John Baker

Hi Lucy - once again many thanks - Shirley

I don't know if I dare ask you as you seem to have spent ages looking on the 1891 census - but please, if you have time, and you feel like it, could you look up the following family for me? Thomas Trigg, Margaret (his wife), Ida (his daughter). They might have been living in Newport Monmouthshire in 1891. No problems if you cannot find them - just thought I would ask before you collapse. Jacqui

Hi Laurie, RG12/527, Folio 62, page 4 Forest Hill, Charlton, London 22 Park Street Francis Flauding, head, mar, 42, bricklayer, Tunbridge Annie Flauding, wife, mar, 43, Waltham East Charles C Constant, stepson, sing, 17, laborer telegraph wk, Plumstead Ethel Constant, stepdaur, 6, scholar, Woolwich Thomas Standing, bro, sing, 28, bricklayer, Hastings George Reader, boarder, sing, 32, labourer, Maidstone As you can see they've transcribed either Francis or Thomas incorrectly - I assume you'll know which is correct. Can't find Caroline Morland, however, there is Caroline Morley born Plumstead father Joseph - could this be her?

Hi Lucy another request if possible: EDWIN COMLEY about 8/12 years old - also ALEXANDER ASPLAND aged about 61ish both London areas - you really must be exhausted - but I know all of us are so, so grateful for all your help with this very frustrating 'hobby'. Regards Shirley

hi lucy. thanks for looking for me i am pretty new at this . But i will keep looking. thanks again. bernie.

Hi Lucy, Charles Constant was born 1874, Plumstead and Caroline Constant (nee Morland) born 1877 also in Plumstead. It may be possible that they were not married at that time. I have more info on their families if you need it. Laurie
