Hi

I'm trying to find a William Baker on the 1851 census and cannot find him.

He was born in Much Marcle Herefordshire and I have him on the 1841 census as living with his parents and working as a Blacksmith but I can't find him on the 1851 census.

I would welcome a fresh pair of eyes who would take another look for me please.

Thanks

Born when?

Have you found the rest of the family?

Does he appear on later censuses?

Born 1813

There is a possibility on the 1861 census but the dob doesn't quite match so I'm discounting it for now.
