Hi everyone, I am trying to find information on: James Seery b: c1821 Ireland James Seery b: c1852 Sunderland James Seery b: c1888 Sunderland as you can see, James is a popular name! Now, as they were unable to read or write, the name is often spelt as SEARY and even SEERIE sometimes. I have found two census returns, one from 1861 and one from 1891 but I am sure they must be more information out there. They all lived in Sunderland, Co. Durham from around 1846 onwards. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Matt

Thanks Reg. That looks like it is him. Has helped me a a brother of his wife. I am not a member of ancestry, I found the 1861 census on the FreeCen web site, but it didn't have the 1851 info on there. If anyone else can find any other info, I would be grateful. Thanks. Matt
