	I have been looking for a James Benjamin Harding on the census. On later census he is married to Eleanor & he says he comes from Colney Heath, Herts. I have found a James B. Harding on 51/61 census, born North Mimms. The ages fit, he was born in 1847. What I would like to know, is Colney Heath & North Mimms the same or different. Thanks, Hilary.

	North Mimms is not on my map but South Mimms is. I assume that North Mimms is North of South Mimms Colney Heath is also just north of South Mimms (It all around J23 of the M25

	Hi Claire, yes the 1 in Peterborough is the man I am looking for. I have traced him back from his daughter. Looks like it is the same man as they are both railway men. Just wanted someone elses view. thanks Hilary.
