Thankyou Kathleen

Much appreciated, its probably a long shot to find him on the 1851 census as he was probably in Liverpool.

I will have to try and find his birth reg

Thankyou again Kathleen

I thought he'd be in Liverpool at that point, thankyou very much.

Just realised he wouldnt have a birth reg as he was born before 1837.
