1861 census lookup please
« on: Friday 30 September 05 08:42 UTC (UK) »
Robert Francis (Willard, Helliot, Hillard) Driver - born approx 1855, have been told in Bristol but don't actually know if this is correct.  I am trying to trace him and his family as he was my great grandfather.   He immigrated to Australia or New Zealand before 1876 where he married in Dunedin, NZ.  Can someone please try and find him for me.  I don't know what his parents names were or if he had any siblings.

Hi Eileen,
Can't find him on the 1861 or 1871 census.
Are the middle names correct or are they a possibility?

The nearest I found was a plain Robert Driver born Beer Devon, parents James and Pheobe. Smiley

Do you know of any other names in his family?

Sorry I don't know any other family members, only the children he had when he married.

Hi, on the 1876 church marriage register it says Robert Francis Helliot Driver, 21 years.

Had a look at the Wales censuses for 1861 and 1871 just in case he crossed the Severn - but there are no Robert Drivers at all in Wales.  Nothing helpful on IGI either.

Good luck
