Hi All, In 1901 I have a Lydia Reeve living in Norwich and there is a Samuel Madgett as boarder there.
Samuel was in fact the father of the 2 youngest children and indeed the couple married in 1912.
What I need is to see where Samuel was in previous censuses and in particular I'm trying to find a baptism for him.
Any help given much appreciated.

Hi Prove it,
This looks like his birth registration
Samuel Madgett - Mar 1854 - Norwich 4b 156
1861 census

William Madgett, head, 32, Cordwainer

You'll find him as Samuel Madget in the 1881 census, free to search at several sites, for instance www.familysearch.org

Samuel helpfully gives his place of birth as Norwich, St. Margaret, on the 1881 census, where he's living with his first wife and daughter.
These registers are online - see http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#w=0&p=waypoint&s=waypointsOnly&c=fs%3A1416598
Scroll down to Norwich, St Margaret, baptisms 1837-1904, and Samuel's baptism is on page 20 (of 52)
