Please could someone look up WILLIAM KEATES born c1778 to c1787 living in the Somerset area (Weston) or possibly the Hampshire area. I know this is a lot to ask but I've hit a brick wall and haven't got access to the 1841 Census. William worked as a Labourer around this time. Many thanks David.

Hi Reg, no I haven't. I only found out about William the other day and the only Census I have access to is the 1881 census. Regards David.

No sorry, all I know is that he had a son called James born in Weston, Somerset in c1806. On james' marriage cert William is listed as a labourer and it doesn't say that he is deceased. I surpose it it also possible that William could be living in Devon but that's a guess. Regards David.

Hi Jennifer, Thank you for helping. The William Keats from Bideford, Devon may be who I'm looking for but I can't be sure. Regards David

Hi Wavyone, This is closer to my William but his son James was born in c1806 so the ages don't match. Thank you for your help. Regards David
