Hi there people. I need info on Shears family who were in Cornwall around 1880ish. Ernest born there 1881. Parents unknown but would like to find them and any other family.Thanks marriedwithkids
This is the only Shears family I have found in Cornwall on the 1881 census. Looks as though the father is away from home. If you think this is your family a request from an earlier census might help you. Kind Regards, Frances
