Looks like Amos Percy Or could be Thomas Percy actually the more I look at it think it is the abbreviated Thomas

Thanks for looking, the more I look the less I see, I was hoping to find him on the 41 census but nothing.
I have much more luck with other peoples families!

Thankyou so much , yes thats them ,it must have been a horse drawn omnibus I guess. but the elusive Thomas? Percy is still hiding.

I'm embarassed that ancestry want to tout for business, how naughty, and there was I hoping to put a quick link.

Sarah 1806 Huntingdon, Henry 1804 Ireland or Huntingdon, don't seem to move around, but they dont appear on the 61 census but return on the 71 onwards. They are a pain !

Its a new ancestry listing, but I'm not sure which sort of ancestry membership you need to read it Its only for London.
I was suprised to find the certificate I had bought a while back in its original form and the Banns which have to be read 3 times before the marriage

I can look up for anyone if it helps, since my own tree is at a standstill !
You can see the original written entries too.

Thanks for explaining that Lindsey. I have a full subscription, but the banns I want are not London.

Saves me fretting that I might have missed something vital!

look at what is new on ancestry ...... it shows births marriages and deaths in London from something like 1580 to 1920 (but differing periods for b.m.ds)

Lots of good information.


I can also access it by going to Home Page and scrolling down.

I believe you have to have more than the standard membership to access it.
