To find which census pieces to search. Go to the National Archives website and search PROCAT for Hackney, 1861 and RG9 Martin

When you start to look earlier, don't forget the Wiltshire BMD site: http://www.wiltshirebmd.org.uk/ It's only got (some) marriages on it at the moment (no births or deaths). Of the marriages, two are for ENGLANDs, but neither looks like yours. Generally these sites are very good (free, and easy to use). Its last update was 19 October. good hunting Christine

Hi Maureen, Thank you for the offer. On the 1871 I'm looking for Joshua England born Wiltshire c1829 living with children (maybe wife) in Glaskin street Hackney. In 1861 I know a daughter was born in 1860/1 called Josephine Annie England in Hackney, but don't know the address, wife's name was Martha England also born Wiltshire. Thanks for your help, Louise
