Dear Sharon,
Thankyou for your reply.Unfortunately,you give the barest of information ie 'born in England'regarding your target.If you could name an area of England or a town I could search my copy of the 1881 census and e-mail/fax you the results,as it is quite possible that some of the targets relatives would appear on the census as aged inhabitants.

Still it is delightful to talk with a namesake from the other side of the pond!.Please do not hesitate to let me knw if I can help.Feel free to e-mail direct any time.

Stephen
