Yes Emma it is. x

Nursling is a village in Hampshire, England, situated about 6 kilometres north-west of the city of Southampton.

Thanks PH, Janice and Shirley.
can anyhting be found on his parents?

Janice

Janice Report 22 Jul 2011 12:38

William Shaves born Hampshire only seems to exist on the 1891 census so I'm suspicious of that.
Without knowing where he was born it is hard to know who his parents are because we don't know which one he is on earlier censuses.

Can anyone find the family on the 1881? I'm having no luck.
