James Kemm
« on: Thursday 17 September 15 13:12 BST (UK) »
I am attempting to find information on my great, great, great grandfather, James Kemm (1849-1911). He lived in the Paddington area all his life. He appears on every census from 1851 until 1911 apart from the 1881 census and I can't find anything to suggest why. The only other information I have is that he served with the 'Paddington Rifles' for three months in 1867 before being 'struck off'.

I wonder if any other information is out there for me and would greatly appreciate any help in finding said info.

Many thanks in advance.

Tom

Relate the census(es) that you have and we can take a look.
Household members should be included as should reference numbers.

Did he marry Lydia.  Is this her death
Death March qtr 1873   
Lydia Kemm    age  23
