I really need some help as I have gone as far as I can on a family until the 1891 and 1871 census becomes available. I have a family that shows up in the 1881 as an Irish family. In 1901 they are listed as English and Canadian. However, I was contacted a couple of days ago by someone who is saying they are connected to his German family. If anyone with access could find the husband in 1871 and/or the family in 1891 I would really appreciate it.
