Looking for George Horsefield a labourer Born abt. 1865- 1872 married to Elizabeth Ann Balmer born 1868. In Lancashire, would like to know what year he was born, and where exactly they were living. They did have two children July 1891 Sophia and 1896 James. I think I may have found George on 1881 census but can't be sure as yet. He disappears in 1901. Thanks Jackie

Thanks jude for the help, none were what I was hoping for though although all very interesting. If you see this again could you try George Horsfield for me without the first e in case they omitted it some where. he was abt.28 years old, hopefully married to Elizabeth Ann. In the Chorlton on Medlock area of Manchester. Thanks Jackie p.s. why are people so elusive.
