Can anyone please help.. I am looking for a census search on Francis Tranter from 1861 - 1901 Francis Tranter born C1835 Kidderminster area.. Father William Tranter b 1796 Mother Sarah Tranter b 1796. Francis married Eliza Ann Potter they had six children William Tranter b 1859 Kidderminster Ellen Selina Tranter b 1860 Kidderminster Frank Tranter b 1863 Kidderminster George Frederick Tranter b 1865 Kidderminster Kate Eliza Tranter b 1867 Kidderminster Florence Maria Tranter b 1871 Kidderminster I belive Francis had his own business and ended up quite a wealthy man... (never came down the tree though ho ho) Also would you please do a census search for Eliza Ann Potter from 1841 - 1861 again in the Kidderminster area. I am hoping to get some details on Eliza's family. Many Thanks.. Colin PS.. Does anyone know if there is somewhere you can search for records of wills...It would be very interesting to look at Francis's will..

Hi Colin, Did you know that you can look at the 1881 census for free on the Mormon site?? Go to www.familysearch.org, click on Advanced Search. Scroll down to censuses. OR just put your person's name in the Search Box and see what comes up! Plus, I think I read somewhere that there is a 2 or 4 week free trial on ancestry at the moment. If you decide to try this, you will have to give your credit card number ........ so make sure that you let them know about 4 or 5 days before the end of the trial period if you decide not to continue. Otherwise, your card will get charged. Sylvia This will give you the thrill of finding stuff!!!!

Researching:
