Post by: Erica Rae on Tuesday 24 January 12 08:12 GMT (UK)
Hello,

Could someone please do a lookup for me for Thomas Arthur Edwin Sanderson and his family in the 1881 census please?

He was born in Royston, Hertfordshire, England on 23 July 1868.

His parents were Thomas James Sanderson and Alice Mary Sanderson nee Taylor.

Thank you so much

He was born in Royston, Hertfordshire, England on 23 July 1868.

Actually he wasn't! ;D
His birth was registered in the Royston registration district, but that district covers parishes in Cambridgeshire, Essex and Hertfordshire.

It's one of those very confusing districts!

Our chap was born in Litlington in Cambridgeshire, as shown in the census.

By the way - the 1881 census is free to search!
