Kate! Is George on the 1871 from the list???? If William was at sea or living elsewhere, you will have to wait until the indexing has been completed, they are adding counties gradually :-) max xx

Thanks Max. The mystery deepens. The man who was never born or died appears not to have been around for census night either.

and for George: Geo Wakeham 24 Antoffled, Devon, England Boarder Camberwell St Giles London George Wakeham 51 Thurlaston, Devon, England Head Lidford Devon George Wakeham 5 Stoke Damerel, Devon, England Son Stoke Damerel Devon George Wakeham 1 month Tiverton, Devon, England Son Tiverton Devon George Wakeham 55 Stonehouse, Devon, England Head East Stonehouse Dorset George Wakeham 37 Malden, Devon, England Head St Paul Covent Garden London max xx

Ah, blast, I've added it to the wrong board! Sorry.

I know people get annoyed with multiple requests for the same person, but I don't mean to offend anyone! Tracy very kindly looked for my elusive relative but couldn't find him, so I was wondering if a fresh pair of eyes would fair better. William Henry Wakeham, aged 17, born Devon, living in Devon at the time. He might have joined the Navy by then, if not his father was George Wakeham, stonemason.
