Hi

Yes I had wondered about that but had been hoping to find him onthe 1871 with his parents.

Given his occupation in 1911 as

Inspector Of Messengers P O Retired Army Pensioner

He could well be in the Army in 1881 and 1891

Hi Brummiejan

Unfortunately I don't know much about the family only that his father was botn in Norfolk - I think it was wymondham.

The date is right but different mother's name - albeit he could have remarried.

I can't find Reuben either. I wonder what his father's occupation was? He was certainly born as Reuben Kitt:

Hi

I am after another look up - I could be pushing my luck here but this seems to be another name challenge! I have looked myself tonight on various sites but no joy.

I am trying to find Reuben Edward Kitt born 1862 Lambeth. I have found him and his wife Mary Lucy Ray on 1901 and 1911 census but can't find him before that. Reuben and Mary were both born about 1862 and married 1898 in Lambeth.

The reason being I am trying to find a connection between Reuben Kitt and Alice Kitt. Richard Ray b. 1839 had a son Richard William Ray born 1859 and a daughter Mary Lucy Ray born 1862. Richard born 1859 married Alice Kitt and Mary married a Reuben Kitt.

Agewise could be brother and sister but I just can't find them on earlier census. I think that the surname was originally Kett and Alice Kitt's father William came from Norfolk and her mother Mary from Ireland. I have only found them on the 1881 census.

Any help greatly appreciated as always.
