hi all, I have a Joshua Ellis born Dewsbury 1844. In 1881 he was living in Middlesex and 1891 St Lukes London. He married a Mary but that is all I know about her. If anyone can help fill in the blanks I would be very grateful. Thanks Gail

Could this be the family in 1871 if so the child and Mary were born in Kent so perhpas looking for a marriage in Kent would be the next step.

Germaine, Got the census but they are very blurred. Gail

Gail i haven't found him yet on 1841 but I think this could well be Edwards marriage seeing as his BIL is with him and his name is Walker What do you think.

That first one is very blurred was hard to read must have been when they scanned it. Isn't it just the 71 that was very bad the others look not too bad to me? Germaine x

Re your last message. What does BIL mean. Gail

Sorry Brother in Law Germaine x

Mary J walker is Joshuas Mother. His father is Edward. All the images are blurred and can make very little of it out. Don't worry about it. Gail

Oh dear sorry Gail they look OK on my PC have you tried going in close on them. That is except the 1871 that is very bad. Yes that is right Mary Jane Walker is Joshua's mother. Sure it is the right family he is a tailor all the way through. Will put the text details o here for you. Won't be long will go get them. Germaine x

Can you access the 1901 census to find him? Just done as you suggested and yes it is the right family. A big thank you. Gail

On the 1871 Cor!!! that one is hard to read it looks like the address is West Court St. and the occupation you can just about make out the Tailor but what the other word is can't tell. Perhaps someone has better eyes than me ? Germaine x

I know I have been a pain thank you so much for your help. Gail
