Do you have him in any other census? Where was he born?

David

It looks as though your cross post on the Staffs board has found him

Kate's birth appears in Bedford registration district so the Bedfordshire birth is right, and Jennett's is in Leigh registration district which includes Bedford, Lancs.

I always say I don't believe in coincidences, but this one really is a coincidence. Makes you wonder what the family was up to though, criss crossing England

He starts out as a wheelwright, goes onto be an engine fitter, then Manager of an Iron Foundry, and then a painter..............
