Census Look Up - John Wilson Steele
« on: Friday 01 March 13 20:24 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

I am trying to find a chap  on the census. The only one I have been able to find him on is 1871 as a 53 year old lodger in St Giles, Yorkshire. He was listed as a drugists assistant, born wales.

I have his death in 1880 so that would be his last census. Hopefully someone can find him previously.
He was John Wilson Steele - christened 1817 in Llandeilo Fawr, Wales. To Richard and Elizabeth Steele who may have been married in Yorkshire.

Any help appreciated,
Holly

A really exciting chap but not the one i'm after unfortunately. That John Wilson Steele was a surgeon, a lot younger than my one and born in Ireland. But thanks for searching.

It doesn't say born Wales but there is a John W Steele assistant druggist in 1851 same area * Yorkshire St Giles.  Age 30 visitor.  Birthplace given as Shrinfott? Yorkshire.

As the name and occupation match plus he is in the same area good chance that is he.

*might even be the same address no.2 Bootham?

That looks like it will be him even with the age and bp out a little. Thank you! Too bad he's a visitor and doesn't give clues to the rest of his family.

Can't see him in 1861.  He's not married.
