Hi Maureen,

I never thought of that. Thanks so much. That's a great tip.

Hi!

Thanks for replying so quickly. I do remember the 1891 census showing a bit of a different job than the 1901 and 1911 census. Another question is do you have any idea why he doesn't appear in the 1871 and 1881 census? Could he and his parents (if he had any,  I've hit a brick wall with this man) have lived in another country at these times?

Thanks again!

I'm looking for information on my great great grandfather, John Henry Dunn. He was born in 1863 in Banbury, Oxfordshire. He does not appear in the 1871 or 1881 census. I have found his marriage in the marriage index in 1885 in Banbury, Oxfordshire. In the 1891, 1901 and 1911 census he is a domestic groom and then a domestic coachman. My great grandfather, Harry George Edwin Dunn, is listed as a gardener in the 1911 census. The census says they live at Houndshill Cottage, Stratford on Avon. Does anyone happen to know if there was an estate of some sort where they may have worked? I don't think the Cottage is where there employers lived. I think that may have been a cottage for the servants but I'm not entirely sure. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
