Hi,

Thanks for the replies, I found them in 1881 as Heath and so I tried that name for the 1891 census but with no results. I went to the library again today and tried to find him with soundtex but still had no luck.

Very grateful

Thank you
KR

Hi again KR,

I'm not sure if this will help, but I think Geoff will agree - if you have  a surname that is slightly awkward to find .. it sometimes pays to leave it out completely.

In the case of the above, I used the most uncommon one, which was Alma and hoped she was with her grandfather ten years previously .. ?

You might already do this .. but nothing ventured nothing gained ..  :)

Pels.

I try "every which way" - for the 1881, I looked for William born in Barholm.  Every which way I tried however, I couldn't spot Caroline in 1881  ::)

Yes, I have come to the conclusion that less info is sometimes better.

I have tried to find Caroline in 1881, she was born in Baston.
The closest one I can find is a Caroline Skeath a visitor to a family in Liverpool born Boston. I wondered whether it should have been Baston.

Regards
KR  :)
