Francis Wm Bird, 22, unmarried, is a lodger at 10 Queen's Place, Salford at the home of Thomas Edward Howells.

Don't you hate that?!

PS Do you have him in 1861? This could be him:

Francis W. Bird, 12, born Manchester. It says he is 'son-in-law' - perhaps this means stepson?

Also in the household (70 Burlington St, Ashton under Lyme) is Martha Bird, wid, head, 39, dressmaker, born Cheshire; and Amelia Bird, daughter-in-law, unmarried, 24, cotton weaver, born Manchester.

Dear Ros

Thank you very much for looking for me, and yes it is not what I expected, but then so many young working men seemed to leave home and get lodgings, what's different today!

I did not have the 1861 census either and I am intrigued by this, and will certainly keep it, as the name Amelia features again in a later generation.

Hope it did not take up too much of your time, but it your help is very much appreciated.
Thanks again,
Pat

Dear Ros

Please say you have still got the search!The 1861 census is my GGF and he is living with his brother in law Thomas Edward Howells, and I hope his sister Emma. If you have still got it please will you post me again all the details for the 1871, if you do not mind?

Also the 1871, lead me a merry dance, but finally I worked it out, Amelia was his half sister and Martha his step mother, so a big thank you again. It was really an amazing find, and I can only say I am constantly amazed at what these census's reveal, if you are prepared to work at it. I just thought that after your hard work you would like to have some feedback on the outcome.
Many thanks Ros,
Pat

Dear Ros,
Thank you so much, at least Emma did not die prematurely.
Amelia, senior, I guess played a big part in raising both Emma and Francis Wm.
It was a big find for me Ros, and I cannot thank you enough,

Kind regards,
Pat
