Sorry, my computer froze and I had to reboot. Still trying. Jan.

Sorry, I can't access the 1891 tonight. Every time I try it freezes my computer. If no-one else looks for you, I'll try again later. Jan.

Hang on, I'll see if I can find anything.

Well done, Kathryn. I wonder why you could get in and I couldn't. Going off to sulk now. Jan.

Sorry, sarcasm has totally made me lose interest in trying to help you. I suggest you take out a subscription and do your own look ups in future. Jan.

Thnx for the help so far, Rosemary. I found Robert listed as Robt on the 1901 Census in Moss Side, Lancashire. Could you try that plz? And now I've got the puzzle of how Mr Hooker fits into my tree...

I found Walker (note no t but a k)Hooker on the 1881 Census living with his parents in Low Startforth, Yorkshire. His parents were William and Frances. I wonder which one was related to Rachel? (And its typical I can not find Rachel's marriage to her husband Samuel Baker on FreeBMD)
