Can anyone help. I'm looking for Harry Shakespeare and anyone in his household in 1871, the same for 1891. Harry was born in 1864 in Coventry thanks, Steph

Hi unfortunately in 1891 there is no Harry Shakespeare listed that matches your info. the nearest is Harry Shakespeare ages 23 born in birmingham and living in Gorse Hill near Swindon Wilts. I can send you the info for that household if you wish, just email me at [email protected] Jason

Hi, I think Coventry Family History Society have indexed some of the censuses. They will probably do look ups for a small fee. Use google to find their web address. Or you could get a film of the census at an LDS centre and search it there. Hope this helps, Gwynne
