Thank you Dianne and Paul for your suggestions. This is my husband's family making me new to research in Buckingham. "But one possibility you have to face is that you won't find him in High Wycombe baptisms. Emanuel is an uncommon name (just 402 in the 1841 census, none in Bucks under any spelling), & most seem to have been in Wales & Middlesex. Quite a few of the latter were listed as "Foreign" & not necessarily christian. Aah - an Edward EMANUEL aged 60 in the 1881 census, born "Wycombe". 14 Leete Street, London, Middx. Wife Catherine b Maidenhead. And George had a son Edward. Brother?" Thank you for finding the 1881 Edward Emanuel, Paul and for the additional information on the name not being common. Googling I found a very old forum post with someone listing George Samuel Emanuel baptised in 1824 son of Samuel Emanuel and Fanny?. no further details. I have posted to this other forum hoping the lister is still current. Can you tell me how you were able to find out so much about the emanuel name in the 1841 census? Karen

Karen, I have a subscription to British Origins, which has the 1841 census online. I think the transcription is more accurate than Ancestry, the search engine seems to work better, & it's much cheaper. Disadvantages are much less census coverage (1841 & 1861 & partial 1871 so far), fewer other records (though it has some that Ancestry does not), & fewer census search options.

Hi Paul Thanks for that information. I noticed ancestry didn't return anywhere near as many hits for the name Emanuel as what you had found on British Origins.
