Could someone be kind enough to look up a Thomas Henry Franklin born abt 1853. He was a wood turner and born in Poplar, London we think. His father was Edward Franklin or Frankling. I am unsure of his dob or occupation, I am looking any findings on his mother or any siblings, so anything 1871 and before. Many thanks Rebecca

Thanks everyone On later census records Thomas is with his wife and children who also share some of his siblings names. There was a young Harriet in one who disappeared in later records and seems to have been replaced with an Ellen around the same age. He also had children of his own called Louisa and Edward. With 4 of the same names appearing in his own records I feel it is the same family. Oh well done to anyone who can read those original transcripts, just looked goobeldy goop to me. It's the one i found but couldn't make out. Thanks Rebecca
