Thanks Georgina,Im certain that Williamwas a Fisherman,did it mention a servant called Elizabeth Godfrey? She was Margarets younger sister,we were always told she had a hard time living with this sister,and it all fell into place when I saw her registered at the servant to her own family!!!!!!!!!!

Kathleen the 1901 is VERY specific in that it will not bring up a name if you do not have the exact details. e.g. if I am looking for a relative who was in the Civl Parish of Liverpool but the enumerator has recorded him as being the CP of Lpool, the record will not come up. That's why I always start my searches with Lanc* because that covers Lancs or Lancashire and when I find my person, I always note the CP. Who are you looking for? Sue
