Am I wrong or is there missing data from the 1891? I have a death in 1892 so the person must still be alive in 1891, but I cant find them on the census. And another moan,,,(sorry),,,why do they advertise the 1871 census,,,? Perhaps Im wrong but the only area i can find is Middlesex which is great for those who are researching this area but not much help to anyone else.

Hi Claire, Who are you looking for in 1891, I'll have a look for you. 1871, like the 1891, will be added county by county. It took months! Debbie

Hi Claire, He doesn't seem to be there, does he? Trying to check his place of birth, used LDS site, is he son of Cuthbert & Mary? He doesn't seem to be on the 1881 either, does he. I presume the 35 yr old Wilson Butler in Bishopswearmouth is his son. Debbie

Hi Debbie Yes he is the son of Cuthbert and Mary. I think he might have been 'out' on census night,, Thanks again for looking for me. Claire
