Sharon, Joan and Andrew........Thanks for your help. I was hoping prisoners were not included.......rather a black sheep than another lost relative. Andrew, Bon is a variation I haven't tried yet so will get right onto it. Regards...............Pam |

I have tried several variations of his name John Boon born 1861 in London. By the 1891 census he is married to Eliza and living in Brighton. I have searched under Boan, Boone, Bone with some results but I cannot be certain any of them are right. His father was also named John Boon and was a coach painter by profession although he was dead by the time of John Jnr's marriage in 1886. Any suggestions on other spelling variations? Thanks..................Pam |

Yes indeed....I found one of my family in Parkhurst, Isle of Wight in the 1881 census....hadn't known about him. haven't been able to find out anything more yet. Maybe try a wider age range? Joan |

Hello Yes Prisons and Institutions (ie workhouses stc) were included on the census. The likelyhood is that your ancestors name has been recorded wrongly. Sharon |

My great grandfather is missing from the 1881 census. Would he have appeared on the census if he had been in prison? Pam |
