Oh wow, thanks Reg, I think the one in 1871 could be him. I must admit I did come accross this one but the birthplace was pirbright and I thought nothing more of it. Stupid me not looking where pirbright was. Thanks so much David

Hi Reg, I have searched all the census and cant find him or his family on any of them. I have even tried to spell his name differently but no success. I am afraid I dont know what his fathers ocupation was. Regards David

Hi Peeps, Could someone please help me find Harry Collier. I have found him on the 1891 census and he is married Catherine and living in Plumstead, London. On this census he is born in Woking Surrey in circa 1865. I have also found him on the 1901 census. Could someone help me find him on the earlier census please. Also if you come accross a death or birth for him that would be most appreciated. Thank you David
