Hi Joan

Thanks for all the census. It is my William. I guess I will have to get a copy of his marriage cert (he did marry twice) and hopefully his full name will be on that. Again many thanks. Dud.

I found William in 1881 with his children and wife Catherine (either Catherine is Ann or he married again).

Still no middle name on the census records.
