« on: Sunday 16 August 09 20:37 BST (UK)  »
Trying to find details of John Parker born 1822 Woolwich, Kent.  I have located him on the 71 & 81 census but would like to find any earlier details.  I know that his father was called Charles.  John is down as a Naval Pensioner on the later census. He married Charlotte Chew in 1861. I have located Charlotte and her daughter Ellen on the 1861 census.

Any help greatly appreciated

« on: Monday 10 August 09 13:34 BST (UK)  »
 am trying to find details of John Noble & Margaret Noble (nee Pattison). I know that they were in Durham until until 1857 where they had two children. Their next 4 children (William, John, Thomas & Elizabeth) were born in America and then they were back in Durham by 1868 for the birth of their final two children who were born in Castle Eden.  John and Margaret are on the 1860 Census in America but just dissapear after this point.  All of the children are living with grandparents on the 1871 census.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
