Hi Guys,im looking for an expert eye to take a look at a census record on Ancestry for me.
im looking for info on George Berridge,he was born in Histon Lincs in 1866 and married Elizabeth Hutson in 1893,kids Elizabeth & Norah.
iv got him on 1901 census working as a porter in Whittlesey worhouse.
The problem im having is locating any other census records so no parents,i know i need his birth cert but before ordering it i want to be sure.
The other record iv found(my heart tells me its him,but my head needs confirmation) is 1871 census,it says born abt 1862,in Kirton Lincs,but on closer examination of the hand written record it could easily have been miss-transcribed,lookinh at other "H" on page!!!
any help would be great,kind regards Lisa

Is there a Histon in Lincs?...
One in Cambs. but not seeing a birth on freeBMD, only the one in Wisbech, who on 1871 is in Elm, with parents John W and Phoebe.

Elm is nowhere near Histon in Cambs.
