Hello, Does anyone have the 1891 Census for the Nottingham or Derbyshire? I'm looking for some great grandparents and wondered if anyone could help. William Gelsthorpe would have been about 4 or 5 and was born in the Mansfield district. Edith Bentley would have been about 2 and was also born in Mansfield, believe her fathers name was William and mothers name may have been Angelina. If anyone could find any information on either of them it would be great. Many thanks Paula

Hello Heather, Thank you very much for that - that was quick! I don't think the 10 year old William would be the right one, as I think he would definitely been around 4,5,6 years old. Thanks for finding Edith as well - this is definitely her. Not sure about William, but I'm waiting for his birth certificate to come through, so should find out shortly. Thanks for such a quick reply. All the best Paula
