I am trying to find my g-grandad Walter Mellors on the 1881 census. I have tried every spelling I can think of and searched for him by first name only but he still isn't there! Can anyone please help and put me out of my misery

He should be 20 (born 1851) and he was born in Southwell. Where he should be I don't know, I know he is in Winchester Hamps in 1891

The Walter Mellors in Winchester, born in Southwell on the 1891 is 37. That would make him b in 1854 ish. There is a Walter Mellors on the 1881 b 1856 in Farnsfield (district of Southwell), lodger in Nottingham, St Mary On the 1871 Walter Mellors b 1855 in Farnsfield, servant, living in Farnsfield.

Rosemary I thought for a long time the Walter in Farnsfields was my Walter. Then I applied for the birth certificate of Walter from Farnsfield and discovered the father on the birth certificate was different to the father on the marraige certificate. My Walter from Southwell, I think, told a little white lie about his age when he got married.
