yes it is....the other 5 on ancestry have the same info

Is the George Allen WOOD on 1881 census , the same George Allen WOOD that on the 1851 census was a prisoner? Please pardon me if the information is right in front of me in black and white! But I'm loosing the plot and not sure what I am looking at. I have read it many times.
Many thanks in anticipation.

Thankyou Tania. Oh my goodness we have a prisoner in the family.. Is there any way of finding out what he did to get put away?
It makes facinating reading.
I have the marriage cert for John Thomas WELLS and Harriett Allen WOOD m: May 16th 1882 . So what you have told me all adds up.
Kind regards

Thanks Margaret for your help. I am thinking of joining the Ancestry.com site. I'm waiting until I get another offer in my emails. When I get time I am going to visit that area to have a scout round where part of my family started.
I hope one day to be as good as you are at researching family, also to know where to start looking. I think with my reaconning (excuse the spelling, a mental block) it might take me a hundred years and some lol...
Thanks again, takecare.

The address on the 1891 census is just:
Village, North Kyme, Sleaford, Lincolnshire,
It's 4 houses away from "The Plough" pub.
The children were all born Walcot Dales except for last one, Maude Marion born Dogdyke.

I purchased my BVRI many years ago and can't remember what it cost but I remember marvelling at how cheap it was for 16 cd's. It used to be available through the Familysearch website but I have been told that it's no longer for sale and the records are now available on Worldwide Ancestry. I stand to be corrected on that.

I have just received the birth certificate for William Allen WELLS. His mothers name is Harriett Allen nee WOODS. I thought it was WOOD not WOODS.
Residence of informant Walcot Dales. Is there any way of finding the real full address of a family?

Hi Margaret can anyone purchase the BVRI, and is it expensive?

BVRI is British Vital Record Index, a set of 16 cd's that I purchased many years ago. They're extracted from parish records so quite reliable.

Thankyou to all, Liz47-Janet - Margaret - Tania. You have worked wonders.
I think you are right it does look like Florrie H. But when you study it a bit more you can see its Harriett.
It all makes facinating reading thankyou all again.
Can I just ask what does BVR1 stand for?

Looking at the original of that 1901 census, I believe the name could possibly be Harriett not Florrie H. The H looks like FL. Although comparing it with other H's on the page I'm doubtful.
