Title: dickerson in plymstock 1851 census
Post by: hellen on Saturday 09 April 05 13:04 BST (UK)

Please could someone look up the entry for Alexander Dickerson and wife Susan (both born about 1800) and several children including my 2xgreat grandfather Thomas born about 1836.  In the 1841 census at Plymstock Alexander is recorded as being born outside Devon, maybe in Scotland Ireland or foreign parts. I'm dying to know where Alexander really came from!
cheers
