1861 Leicester/Leicestershire Census lookup needed
« on: Tuesday 15 March 05 22:23 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to find my Great grandfather, Francis Goodwin.
From finding him on the 1881/91 census as being married with a family of his own I know that he was born in Leicestershire. With the ages given on the censuses and his marriage certificate he must have been born c 1859. I have searched some ofthe 1871 census to no avail.
As he would have only been 2 or 3 during the 1861 census, I believe he may still have been in the Leicester/Leicestershire area. His father was also called Francis and he worked in the shoe trade.
I would be really grateful if anyone has access to 1861 if they could do a lookup for me
