I have been searching for my ggrandfather David Henry Lappage b 1873 in Maldon Essex. I have found him on the 1901 census but none previous to that, how & where can i search to find him? Does that mean that he was out of the country? The only other thing I've found is his birth entry. Appreciate any help thanks

Thanks Reg, why wouldn't he be any any other census records?

He probably is on other census records, most likely mistranscribed - have you tried different spellings of his surname or searched just on his christian name and date/place of birth?

Just had a quick look for you Clare and I can't find him either. What are his parents names, have you found them?

I think you're going to need one of the certs to find out his father's details, at least. Reg

Many thanks to everyone for looking at least I know I'm not going mad! Will have to order a certificate to get any further with this one.
