Homing in on Homer...
« on: Thursday 04 September 08 09:57 BST (UK) »
Looking for Walter Homer and family in the Quarry Bank area in the 1891 census. Walter was born in 1884 in Quarry Bank so would be aged six or seven in 1891. I have no details of parents.

Any details would be most welcome.

1901
Walter's father's name looks like Handel or Randel (Walter age 16 )

but

1901 there is also a Walter Homer b Quarry bank age 17 parents Benjamin and Ann

Difficult to know which one is yours??????
