Lynn, I've had a quick look on the 1891 Census but cannot find anything for Horace. Do you have any other details? As he has an unusual name, it may have been transcribed incorrectly, so another name for a relative would help. Tracy

Thanks for trying Tracey, the Names are definatly right as it was my maiden name. Have a page ripped out of the family Bible that he filled in. that says he was born at 36 Mansfield Rd. St. Pancras.Names that come up in his childrens names are Henry Lewis (his wifes fathers name) Frederick Charles, Vera Lily (his wifes name), Stanley Horace, as relatives names are often used would this help? He was married in Sept 1915 at Willesden.

Linda, Do you have any of details for Horace's brothers and sisters or parents? Tracy means that it might have been transcribed incorrectly in the census. Crista

No Crista, I think thats why I'm having so much trouble because i haven't a name to link to, so I was hoping one of his family names had been passed onto 1 of his children, also working on the vain hope that at 15/16 he may have been at work or in lodgings and missed off the 1901 census but would appear on the 1891 as he would only have been 5/6.

Crista, Just got back to replies( I'm a two finger! typer I Mean! ) your 2nd reply looks hopeful, I should have thought of that the number of times I had to spell my maiden name out!! most people spelt it Coysh. Thanks for helping. Lynn.
