Hi, I have a William Davison born 1858 in Chepstow, Monmouthshire shown on the 1871 living with his parents Joshua & Elizabeth Davison and his brother John. Census Source RG10; Piece: 706; Folio: 117; Page: 25 aged 13 I can trace John through to 1901 census but cannot find William on the 1881 or later census. Any help would be most appreciated. Bye Paul

Hi Julie Many thanks for the time and trouble to search out my missing William. I think you may be correct in that he may be the last entry you gave where he died at 22. Once again I appreciated the time you have given. Thanks Paul
