1901 look up for William LEAR
« on: Friday 18 January 08 12:21 GMT (UK) »

Hi all,

I am looking for William Lear Born Abt 1885 on the 1901 census (Possible William John Lear)

I have him with his family on the 1891 RG12/1703/130/16 But on the 1901 he is missing with his sister Florence (found Her). The Family are here 1901 RG13/2060/86/15

His Father Was Henry/Harry Lear c 1861 Mother Ellen c 1858.

William was born in Torquay Devon.

He is not the one in 1901 Rg13/2072/51/13 Living with Grandmother & G Grandmother i have followed this line and it is the wrong parents.

I can't find a death for him so presume he is on the 1901 somewhere . He is possibly the William that married Annie Gard in 1907 !!

So can anybody find him in 1901 Huh

Thanks in advance Yvonne

There is a man I think it may well say William T Lear.

RG13/1998/169/21
Vessels Dorset

William T Lear, 18, seaman, RNR, b. Torquay

Vessel is HMS Alexandra,

I know the age is a little off but he wouldn't be the first man to adjust his age to join up.

Would be interested in someone else's take on "William Thear" vs. "William T Lear"

Hi Louise,
I think you've got him, I found out he was born in April 1884 & Was a signal in the Royal Navy, So that fits. He is William J Lear but that could be a transcription error!!

Thanks Again for help

Hi Yvonne,
It definitely says William T in the original - I compared it to other Js on the page and it's def. a T.... but it's probably just a mistake when the forms were originally filled in.

Pleased to have found him for you.

Louise
