Glen, Why not just post your relative's name, birth year and birthplace - might be easier! Cheers, Horatia

It's one of my Elmers but both names and place of birth are adrift. Thorbon Elmer abt 1851,Dunham,Norfolk (from 1861) In the 71 he is a pauper inmate and disabilty is idiot or imbecile from birth.I just can't find what he is transcribed as but i can remember the name,age and place are all slightly out.
