Can any kind soul do a look up for me on the 1891 census, i am looking for Thomas and Sarah Lane both born in Middlesex London and married around 1880. On the 1901 census the are living at 38 Runham Street, Walworth and have 8 childern, this address cannot be found on the 1901 address search? and i have found a William Thomas Lane married to Sarah, both born in Middlesex and have 2 childern in 1881 Mary aged 2 (not named in 1901) and Helen aged a few months, this transcribes as Ellen in 1901, if any one could find them in 1891 i might finally know if he is William Thomas or just Thomas, just to say that both occupations match. Any information will be greatfully recieved. April:-)

Many thanks Lucy and Rosemary, that's my family, i wish they would stick to one name, but i suppose it makes life interesting, i'll have to phone mum now and ask if she remembers aunt Mary, she was possibly married by then. Many Thanks Again. April:-)

P.S. just noticed middle names, they don't show up on 1881 or 1901. I wonder what confusion the next census will bring > Lol. April.
