is the year taken from the 1881 census, or elsewhere.....? I can't see a fit for him on the 1861 census. But there is one born abt 1849 on the 1861 census!! Do you know dad's name?? This one has father John who is an Ag Lab......... Merry |

OK....He's 28 in 1881 19 in 1871 basket maker both times but strangely, (still the only Bexley one) aged 12 in 1861!! Think you need his marriage cert to establish the father! Merry |
