I have William Dixon born 1820 in the 1881 census living 3 Elephant Lane, Rotherhithe (also in the 1871 at No. 5) and I find a death of William age 73 in 1893 at St Olaves, Rotherhithe but cant find him or his wife Maria born 1827 anywhere in 1891. They certainly wouldnt have moved far. So where are they????

Many thanks for trying. Perhaps they were in an institution - only recorded by initials!!!! The Dixons were a huge family in Rotherhithe - all produced a good dozen kids each who in turn produced a good dozen ad infinitum
