Looking for Henry John Finch b1840, in 1861 census (also 1881 onwards too !).

His parents are Henry John Finch & Margaret Finnegan.

I have him with family in 1851, and as a lodger in 1871 as a Coffin Maker !!

Where is he in 1861 and after 1881?

Yes, that's him !!

Apologies, should have said - born in St. George in the East, Middlesex area.

The death you found is Henry Finch senior !!

Thanks Chris - that's the family in 1861 !! (I have posted previously about this family).

Thanks too, Nyx, that is certainly a most likely reason why I cannot find him! Will order it one day just to prove it either way.

Thanks again to both of you.
