Hello, Can anyone look up a census prior to 1881 for Albert Merrett born c 1849. I have information from 1881 census as him living at Lower Barton Street, but I wonder if he had any siblings, or what his parents names were. Thanks Tania. Thanks for all your information, his wife was Rhoda.. Thank you for looking on the 1851 census and giving me his parents names of William and Elizth and his siblings... you have taken me back another generation ...

Did he have a wife on the 1881 .the marriage cert than will hopefully give his fathers name and this will be a guide to finding the right one.
