Benjamin Horsley - look up on 1861 census

[johnP-bedford]

Benjamin Horsley was born Feb 1848 at Soham, Cambs to parents Joseph & Mary. I've found him OK age 3 with parents & 7 siblings on 1851 census living in Soham.

I cannot find him age 13 on 1861 census, he is not at his parents home in Soham. In an write up about him it says he was educated at Ely Cathedral chorister school which I think is a boarding school taking in children aged 7 to 13.

I have found him in his later years so he has not died. When he was 21 he went to Ottawa Canada and then to USA. 

If anyone can find him then thanks for looking

Scroll down to 1861 then Cambridge - Piece 1039 is missing which covered Ely

Thanks Carole,  could be the reason I cannot find him if indeed he was in Ely at that time.
