Hi,

The 1881 census is available online through the LDS via:

http://www.familysearch.org/
and you should be able to find your relatives there

Do you know what part of the country your grandmother was born? I could find three different Edith Humphreys of about the right age on the 1881 census with fathers name George. But none of the mothers was called Beatrice.

Hi,

I am hoping that someone might be able to find a Henry (or Harry) Pumfrey (also seen spelt Pumffery, Pumphrey and other variations) on the 1861 or 1871 Essex censuses.
His birth is registered in Maldon district, June 1852 so he would be around 9 in the 1861 census
On the 1901 census his birthplace is stated as Latching, Essex (which I am assuming must be Latchingdon (since his wife Eliza comes from Mundon which seems to be the next village)

I'd be especially interested in who he may be living with or even other people of the same surname in the same village (am assuming there can't be too many as the village looks very small on a map)

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me,

Emily
