hi julia ok i know he is there this is from 1901 national archives site William Torrington 51 London City London Shoreditch Umbrella Frame Maker so ancestry must have mistranscribed it or havnt got it ?? i will find him brb tracy you could ask if any one has any spare credits just a thought please let me know im still looking tracy

Hi Tracy, Don't like to be beaten eh?! William was an Umbrella Frame Maker and in 1891 the name was mistranscribed as DORRINGTON. The only family members I've managed to find in 1901 ar their son Christopher Torrington, and daughter Evelina Powell who were married. That's not very good out of 11 surviving children is it! Julia

hi julia im still here looking what was his occupation i cant find his death so he must be there were the names mistranscribed in 1881 1891 ?? tracy

Hi Tracy, That thought had crossed my mind too, and I've searched with just the first names of family members, but still nothing!! Thank you anyway for all your efforts. Julia
