1871 census lookup please for Rowland
« on: Saturday 05 August 06 11:56 BST (UK) »
Dear Rootschatters,
I am looking for the following family in Brighton in 1871:
George Rowland aged 20
Louisa aged 30
son George aged 2
In 1881 they lived in William St, Brighton.
Any help would be gratefully received

Thanks so much for that!   We are having a real problem with our great grandfather George Rowland who appears to have many different ages and professions!  It looks likely he was only 15 when he married and lied about his age.  He says on his marriage cert. that his father is George Rowland a Fisherman however so the plot thickens!!
