Pick amongst the following from the 1901 census. You will appreciate that the information you provided [which is hardly all that you have, surely?] is not sufficient to really help you:

Hi Cougar & Hackstable.

Since making my original post I have found 17 Sprossons that definitely belong to my family and another 60+ who may have links to those in my family. I have been able to contact one living Sprosson who is just starting out on his family tree.

The data from the 1901 census is helpful and I will use it as I look into the 60+ I still have to follow up.

Thank you for your interest  - any further information will be welcome.

Hi Cougar

I struck lucky - the name does not seem to be that common - and despite the fact it was recorded as Sproston in error in the 1901 census there were not too many names to look at. There are only 78 shown in Ancestry.com under the UK registration records with the majority appearing to fall into no more than three or four families. What is more they do not seem to have moved around the country  therefore it was relatively easy to follow them in the censuses.

No secret just good old fashioned luck.

Hi Stuart,

I know it was a few years ago that you posted this message. My Grandfather was Alfred Sprosson, I believe originally from the Islington area, my father William Sprosson was raised in Enfield, then got married and had 6 sons, we are now all living in Swindon.

If you get this and have any interesting facts about the Sprosson's then please let me know.

Thanks and all the best,

Hi Wayne

Welcome to Rootschat.  I noticed the dates on this post were originally
2005.  I hope you find some of your family and that the original poster
Stuart comes back on here again.

I think Stuart, if you are listening, what Cougar was meaning is that
we know that you were researching the family name Sprosson born in
different parts of London.  It would have been great to have some FIRST
names as well so that others could find the family for you.  More information
you give then probably more information you receive back.

regards Sandymc
