Afew months ago I printed a copy of a page in the 1861 census from GR. There is one name on it which I can not read on my print out, but when I return to search for the same family on the same census on both GR and on FMP, they are not there. You can imagine that by now I would be very worried about my sanity if I did not have hard copy proof that they were on the census earlier this year. |

Thanks GB for your quick response. It was Herbert that I couldn't read. Can you be certain about Herbert's age being 13 on the image as they had a son who would be 13 but John's father would also have been about 73 at that time. If it is the son then I will search for Herbert's death. |

I agree with GB, the age for Herbert W. definitely says 13 and definitely says son, scholar. |

On FMP you can search for the census ref GB posted - they're definitely there (but they're called Sayden) |

Thanks MM and mgnv. I can not find my old FMP print so maybe I didn't do one. Certainly can't verify what their entry was earlier this year, but the GR entry remains a mystery. |
