Dear All,
My G Grandfather was Patrick Connor born Colchester about 1856. Have found him on 1861, no sign of him on 1871 and still looking for him on 1881. Can anyone help please? Could someone look at the 1881 for me? I have looked at IGI but can't see him
thanks Anne

Can you list him in 1861? Who are his parents?

In 1861 he was with his parents Micheal and Mary and brother Michael aged 1 in the army barracks at Colchester. You won't find his birth as it is registered in the Army lists.
Many thanks

Yes I believe this to be the family as I have searched a long time and cannot find another Patrick Connor, born Colchester.
The reason I wanted the 1881 census is that if he followed his father into the army, I could then visit Kew to look at army records.
I have looked on the IGI site but no sign of him.

many thanks

His brother's birth is under Connors.

With both his parents being Irish and his dad in the army, perhaps they went back to Ireland.

Can't see his brother after 1861.
