Thanks to all who looked. Lynda, I don't think that's the right family, I'm afraid. More details on William George DAVIDSON (or maybe DAVISON) in Dartford, Kent. He would have been 30 in 1891 and was born in Dartford. His wife Mary Ann was also born in Dartford and would have been a year or two older. Children (all born Dartford) were William (11 unless he'd died by then), Mary Ann (6), Maud (5) and Annie E (about 1). They had moved to West Ham by 1895, but I didn't think they'd moved as early as 1891. Thanks, Judith

Could I beg a lookup too please? I am looking for William George DAVIDSON (or maybe DAVISON) in Dartford, Kent. He would have been 30 in 1891. He and his wife Mary Ann should have 3 or 4 children living with them. He was living at 55 Overy Street on 10 Jul 1889. Many thanks, Judith

Sarah,you are a treasure! Thank you so much. So William Jane must have been Alice,and Alina is Alma,who was my husbands g.grandfather. I think Mabel must have died as she isn't on the 1901. Thank you once again Diane

If any kind person could do a 1891 look up in Kent,I would be most grateful.I have The Law family in 1881,and it gives one of the children as William Jane Law,Female.I am sure this is incorrect as there is an older child [male]named William.I have them in 1901 but only the youngest 2 children are still at home. They are prob. in the Ashford area [boughton aluph] and they are as follows;Samuel Law,48,Celia Law,47,Mary Wraight,26,Amy Law,25,Richard Law,24,James Law,20,Samuel Law,18,Arthur Law,16,William Law,14,William Jane Law??,12,Charles Law,10,and Alma Law,5. Any help appreciated
