Are you sure? I'm sure I registered on curious fox ages ago and I don't remember a sub - could be wrong though!

Carol, if you want others to have a look, just post his name etc.

HI Jan Thanks I'll delete one
that's my problem.I can find my gr gr grandfather back to Dubuque Iowa but not in England where he was suposed to be born.Story is he grew up on Uplands farm in Surrey (which I found ) then went to Dorking to apprentice as a baker.So tha't's what I'm trying to find.All census I have found list him as born in England BUT his son born in Dubuque Iowa list origin as Scotland.So I'm confused

Carol, you seem to have accidentally posted twice! Just click on "delete" on one post and this thread will disappear.
In the meantime, what sort of info do you need? You can find out all the usual stuff through BMD and census reports, which will give his occupation and an indication of when he started and finished his training.
