	Hello there, I have before me the 1881 census return for Thomas Connolly, who was born in c. 1869 in Bermondsey, Surrey, and who died in Kent in 1947. This is all the information I have on him and with this info coming from another researcher, this may of course be inaccurate. Saying this, I have found him here on the 1881 census, and this is definitley him: Household: Name Relation Marital Status Gender Age Birthplace Occupation Disability Thomas CONNOLLY Head M Male 38 Newcastle, Stafford, England Painter & Glazier Fanny CONNOLLY Wife M Female 34 Maxey, Northampton, England Thomas CONNOLLY Son Male 12 Bermy, Surrey, England Scholar Elizabeth CONNOLLY Dar Female 10 Bermy, Surrey, England Scholar Ellen CONNOLLY Dar Female 6 Bermy, Surrey, England Scholar George CONNOLLY Son Male 4 Bermy, Surrey, England Scholar Herbert CONNOLLY Son Male 1 Bermy, Surrey, England -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Source Information: Dwelling 42 Fendall St Census Place Bermondsey, Surrey, England Family History Library Film 1341128 Public Records Office Reference RG11 Piece / Folio 0562 / 44 Page Number 23 With this in mind however, I can't find Thomas' parents, Thomas or Fanny (Frances), in the 1891, 1901 or 1911, even though they died in 1905, and 1916 respecitvley! Can anyone help please? Thank you, Peter

	Wow, thank you; I can't believe the overwhelming response I have had to this query! This is so highly appreciated, and your searching really does help me as I often travel and don't have time to sit down and do all of the work myself! Thank you so very much! MY appetite has been whetted now, and can I ask if anyone is able to see Thomas' brothers George Henry and Herbert in the 1911 census? That would be fantastic! George Henry (born 1877 in Bermondsey, Surrey) married Eliza Barker on 20 April 1908 in Rotherhithe, St Olave, Bermondsey, London. This is all I know of him. I know nothing of what became of Herbert (born 1879 in Bermondsey, Surrey) after he was living with his parents in 1901. Your help is appreciated! Thank you
