1861 Sheffield Mettam
« on: Thursday 29 March 07 05:44 BST (UK) »
I would like to know where John Tunnard Mettam was on the 1861 census.
According to the free BDM index, he was born in 1853 in Sheffield, and his daughter's birth certificate lists his place of residence pre-emigration as Yorkshire. He emigrated to New Zealand in 1865. I don't have any family details, so, information from the census would be a real boon.

Thank you,
Ana
