Do you mean on census? Which years are you missing? Rew? Bew? Maureen

hi glitter i have John Kew Ann Kew and son George William Kew on the 1901 living with Calvert family which is Ann`s parent but is down as boarders, that`s as far is i can go apart from John`s marr to Ann(ie) Calvert 1898... i am so stuck on this one, think i have Ann(ie) but not a thing on John KEW sharon

Yes glitter, they are the ones..........but trying to find John Kew before thjen is rather difficult, he seems to have vanished or has diff details, like i said earlier his father is John William but is deceased n 1898 when he married so dunno what to try next... then john kew in the 1901 on his marr cert says John William Kew to Annie Calvert.. parents John William Kew(deceased) and George Calvert both fathers were Miners thanx sharon

Sharon, See what you mean as nothing obvious. My money would be on the one born in Lancaster if I was a betting person. Maureen

I thought unusual surnames were easier to find????? How wrong i was,it`s harder is it the peeps transcribing or what!!!!! sharon
