Hi again

I thought that I recognised the name.

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,306713.0.html

I did some searches back in May on SP and came up with nothing. It might well have been that he died between 1851 and 1855 and would therefore not be in the official records.

Have you had a thorough search of the 1861?
