ditto to Brian...I have my g/Grandad John Garfield, in the 1881 census as aged 41, born London, Middx, which isn't a lot of help. I have his death cert in Whitechapel 1888 (says aged 50!), but I can't find any trace of his birth

You are very unlikely to find someone's details on the 1841/1851 censuses unless someone has a name index. The people are listed by address not name so unless you have the address they were living at on census night you have little chance of finding them. Even if you find the Borough they were living in it would take someone hours to search all the census pages for that Borough. dave

My word!!! Now there's a good service ...from 2 years ago even!! I'd forgotten I posted that message. Thanks Pam I have since found my John Garfield's birth on 31st May 1841 Bethnal Green and his parents, and his grandparents back to 1793 in Coventry ....and found a couple of new cousins into the bargain. Don't you just love this business!! Sylvia
