Member Since: October 2004 Posts: 23 Send Message	Hi everyone, I am trying to trace my great granddad without much success. His name is Francis Bovey born 1846 approx in Lambeth London. He married Eliza Harrison born approx 1857 in Bristol. I can find him from the Ancestry site in the 1891 census as Francis Bobby with Eliza and children and in 1901 census as Franersese Bovey with eliza and children. This seems to be as far as I can get. I cant find a marriage certificate for them and i cant trace him earlier living at home so i could go back to his father etc. I think the problem that is not helping is that he had a son and called him Francis and i believe his brother called his son Francis just to complicate things! If anyone can help I would be really grateful. Many thanks Lesley
