I need a lookup on the 1881 census.. I am looking for a Susannah Sayer who would have been around 16/17 at the time of the census. She was born in Elmswell, Suffolk. That is all the information I have, and am hoping a census return would be able to give me details of parent s and any brothers or sisters. Many thanks in advance if you can help.
