Looby Report 28 Dec 2007 21:07

could some kind person have a look on the 51 census to see if they can see William Henry Wallan. He is married to Laura. Laura is in st sidwell exeter with her 4 young children, the youngest only a year.

He doesnt die until 74 sohe is somewhere. The name sometimes gets written as wallen and occassionally the name has appeared as walter!

Also i would like to find the same person on the 41 census. His oldest child is 9 so it is possible he is with laura although he doesnt marry until 46. (her maiden name was boyce)

I would be grateful if someone could look for me.

thanks
lou

i dont have his exact date of birth-his wife was born 1817 and his age keeps fluctuating a few years. i suspect he was born around 1811. He was born in Lambeth in london
