Homing in on Homer...

[Al in Vane]

Thank you for all those replies, bit of a puzzler with all those Walters but I know he worked as a coalminer and left the area to do that at Bedworth, Warwickshire after 1910 so that may be the clue to deciding which is which.

[Al in Vane]

Suzard, forgot to answer your query, Walter's Grandson provided the details and he got them off his Aunt who is Walter's brother's daughter!!

I will get him to ask her for her father's name which will probably provide the answer.

Thank you all again for your help, it is very much appreciated.

P.S. The name head of one of the families is HANDEL Homer, he is there in the 1881 at Quarry Bank.

That would be Handel Coal Miner with wife Eliza

Shadrack the father is with them 1891

Just confirmed that Handel's family is the right one so thank you all.

Shadrack's family from previous censuses anyone?

(I have the 1881)

Superb Pam, plenty for me to go at there before I take the next step to Shadrach's parents William and Nancy. Many Thanks again.
