My husband was put into a home in England in the nineteen fourties.His mothers name was Janet louise Shelley and his father Thomas Charles Allard.They were married in 1940 and lived in the London area in the 1940.Is it possible to find them in any census around that time so I can get thier ages and where they were born so as to help build a tree for him on his side.

Marilyn,

The most recent available census is 1901. Your best bet is to buy their marriage cert to get their ages.
