Hi David

Could you do a lookup on the 1851 census please. It is a William Hedges born approx 1790 in Hampshire (possibly Bishopstoke or Twyford). I believe that there are 1792 and 1794 entries.

Also, can you do probate searches: if so, is there an entry for a John (or James) Myles (or Miles) in 1906 (Portsmouth, Hants) or a Sarah Emily Myles (or Miles) in 1928 (Portsmouth, Hants).

Many thanks

Dave

Hi David,
Can you try for the death of a John Harold or Harrold probably in Penrith ,Cumberland after 1886.In 1881 he was living in Penrith with wife Margaret,both born Moray,Scotland 1850.He's not with his wife in the 1891 census though she is still there in Penrith and listed as "married" not widowed.Their last child was born 1886 in Penrith.He was a land surveyor and in 1871 at least was working for the Ordnance Survey so might have moved around a bit. I'd also be very happy if you could find the birth of his father James Harold or Harrold in Chatham,Kent in 1819 or 20.In 1841 James was in Dallas ,Moray ,an apprentice shoemaker.I suspect his father was probably a soldier from Morayshire based in the Chatham barracks.
Many thanks for any possible help,
Joan.

Please could you help with the following.
On the 1881 i have James Povey B 1870 Wem Shropshire, with his parents Thomas bc 1826 Holart Cheshire and Mary bc 1838 Wem Shropshire.
I can't find anything on this family before the 1881.
