Yes Jim I do, had a check on the census to see what it actually said and it does say Notts, but I think somewhere it has got mixed up.

I have had a PM from Gillian saying she will order birth certificate, and I have told her it would be best to order one of the childrens birth certs, then try and find the marriage of Richard and Louisa and then she would have a referencing point for the birth cert.

I did see a marriage between a Richard Wills and a Louisa Green, but without MMN it is only a guess.

PS Gill has just pm'd to say she does have Alfred's birth cert and MMN is Green.

So do you all think that may be Nottingham should have been Newington?

Father Richard on the 1851 is also a General Dealer.

There is another Richard Wills registered 1849 St Johns, but the other birth registration fits better I think.

If I am following the right man he is not very consistent with his birthplace, he seems to change to Surrey...
