Hi David, Haven't managed to find anything exact, however, there is a Mary Mitchinson with mother Ann and father Thomas or a Mary Ann Mitchison and her mother Mary Mitchison living with John Mitchison (Mary Mitchison's son, Mary Ann Mitchison's brother). Would you like details of either of them?

Hi Vanessa, Had another look and found Harriet and Annie at St. James Street. RG12/1569, Folio 65, page 3 St. Margaret Norfolk Henry John Coston, head, sing, 28, draper, Norfolk Lynn Harriet Agnes Sheppard, sister, wid, 38, draper, Norfolk Lynn Annie Sheppard, daur, 15, Essex Colchester Ellen Southgate, serv, 14, General servant domestic, Norfolk Middleton. In brackets between Henry and Harriet is written "as Sheppard Hoston". I wonder if Harriet or the family had put their name as Sheppard Coston and the person filling out the schedule has put Hoston by mistake.

Hi Rodney, Can't find anything at the moment. Do you have any other family member names?

Emma. Just in case my thread got lost. John/James Butcher. 1875 West Ham/Stratford. Parents may be James and Agnes. Should be James but on 1881 it has been put down as John. Can't find a birth cert for John. Can you look at original for me if you can find him and see what you think it is. Sarah.

Lucy - Could you please look up Alfred Dodd - Father Ellen Elizabeth Dodd - Daughter I think they were from Aston, Warwickshire. Any information on this family would be a great help as i am brickwalled.

Hi Christine, No I'm sorry I still can't find anything for Cissy. Do you have any other family member names or place of birth? Are they on the 1881 or 1901 census?

Lucy, Thanks for the prompt response (r.e: MITCHINSON). The second family looks correct (Mary, Mary Jane and John) - would be grateful if you could provide details. Thanks again David
