I have found William Jnr in 1871 do you need him ?

Despite my best efforts I can't find Willm Snr    I don't like to be defeated..........

Hi, Suey:
Yes, please, that would be lovely to have William Jnr.  As for William Snr., he must have ducked when the enumerator came along .
Thank you for all your efforts.  Odd that, isn't it.

Thank you, Suey, for all your help.  It's helpful/interesting to have tracked William Jnr, but honestly -- that elusive Dad .
Cheers,
