1871 he was a shepherd's boy 1881 he was with Ellen, who was b. Brighton

Yes, 1901 he was living with his sister-in-law Sarah Booth & her family, with his last child Rosa.

have you got him on later census say 1901 , to prove he was alive then? and in earlier ones ( say 1881 hopefully married ) and 1871 single? where did ellen hawkins come from?

Mark Meads m. Ellen Hawkins, prob between 1871-6 Ellen d. 1900, cert. They had 6 children, b. Brighton, at least 3 died in infancy, cert. Mark was not marked as decd. on son's marriage cert 1909. I have searched for his m & d certs till I am boss-eyed. Any suggestions to retain my last dregs of sanity would be most appreciated! Bridget

I have Mark Meads, b. 1853, Stanmer SSX (more follows)
