perhaps John and William were brothers, though in the 81, Martin is Williams son? john and Wm couldn't have been brothers with diff surnames? Getting myself more and more confused

Linda's right .... Martin is Printers son, and the two Johns are Printers.

Leeanne Report 7 Dec 2006 02:48

Thank you sooo much everyone, he is a real mystery, William his father was quite well off, so not really sure why Martin wouldn't have been home. Please Linda (and everyone else) the input is great, suggest away, seems strange he is on the 81 but not the 71, surely a little one would be near his mum?

I think that the 1871 family is COURTNEY, not Courbury!

Leeanne

Leeanne Report 7 Dec 2006 02:44

Thanks all.. In 1871 Martin would have been around 4/5 Is the p[lace of residence anywhere near grenville st Finsbury ecc parish St Albans The only commonality is the fact John Courbury (sp) was a printer as was Martins father William

Cant see the Courbury's in the 1861. I agree with Sylvia, looks like Printer and Martin is a Printers son?

SylviaInCanada Report 7 Dec 2006 02:41
