Warwickshire / Francis Joseph Holdcroft - Coventry 1871
« on: Tuesday 01 December 15 16:48 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to track down Francis Joseph Holdcroft  who was an apprentice Druggist and Chemist for Thomas Loveitt, 23 Broadgate Coventry in 1871. He is not listed with Thomas Loveitt and I guess he was lodging nearby. Francis was born 1856 in Weeford Staffordshire. Having searched both Freecen 1871 and Find My Past I can find no trace of him. It is possible his surname has been mis-spelt. Does anyone have access to the enumerators book for the 1871 Census for Coventry? This may help tie it down. Many thanks in advance.
