Hi to you all and thanks for replying.
I have posted specific details on other threads, so don't want to duplicate too much here. My grandfather, according to the 1891 & 1901 censuses was born in Thame, Oxon in 1887. His father, was released from the Navy in 1883 from Portsmouth and was living with his family in Gloucester in 1891. The birth appears to have never been recorded. The mother, whose maiden name I do not know was apparently born in Chalvey, Bucks.
I am trying to establish the movements of my G Grandfather from 1883 to 1891 and my Grandfather from 1891 to 1901. Unfortunately, according to the 1891 census, my G Grandfather was a Hawker, so there is little chance of him being listed in either the trade directories or in a will.
Thanks again for responding, much appreciated.
