Hi, Who would I go to, to look for the census's in US/Canada? I am looking to find someone 1840-1930. Those people are Thomas & Eleanor Keetch, both born in England... they are to be found in Texas... namely Galveston. Appreciation to anyone who can help. Steve

Can you give a bit more detail as to what years they were born and where you have already found them,e.g. which censuses etc.

Thanks Sue. Well.... his wife was called Eleanor Young, both born in England (Somerset/Dorset) I believe. Had 2 sons... not to ask too much I would like a decent picture of the family line going down.... you know for others and such. Anyway to your questions (thanks for helping by the way) they were both born in 1820's i believe.... if you need a look put them into the IGI if need be. sorry for being vague... they could have been born 1800-1820's.. that's my best guess there... Thanks Steve

To add, they married in 1842 in Dorset, England. Moved to Texas 1846.... I think they had two children then moved over and have them afterwards... I did search 1841 census... and kinda found Eleanor, but couldn't be sure... Steve

Steve Have definitely found the family in 1850 Texas, and a possible for 1860, though it looks like Elleanor may have married again as in 1860 she is down as Lewis. if you send me your email addy I can send you the images. I will look for some more later as I have to go out for a while so don't worry if I don't get back to you straight away.
