Birmingham area Thomas Henry Hall married to Annie (formerly Tooth) children: Lavinia Maud Hall b. 10 Nov 1889 Also: Florence, Et, Edith, Beat, Bert, George, Sydney, Perce, Ernest. With so many clues why can't I find them on the census? THanks for any input Jill

	Sorry I didn't come straight back as I was called away and had to go out. Thanks SO much Kath and SatNav. That is a huge leg up! I thought I was getting better at this, but I searched and searched. What was I doing wrong? Thanks again Jillx

	Which site were you using to search? If it was Genes then I wouldn't bother. Ancestry is a much better bet. Kath. x

	I looked on freebmd and genes. I have tracked down the route my "helpers/advisers' were using on these two sites. I shall be going for a free sample of Ancestry very soon, thanks Jill
