Hi List, Could sks lookup on the 1871 census for Stanhope/Rookhope please? I am hoping to find Thomas FORSTER and his wife Susanna aged about 76 and 78. I am trying to find out when Thomas died. Also trying to find the whereabouts of Thomas and Susanna's children. Emerson FORSTER age about 49 Ann FORSTER age about 44 (Ann may have married but I don't know who) John FORSTER age about 46 Thomas FORSTER age about 42. All were born around the Stanhope/Rookhope/Burnfoot areas and were probably lead miners. I don't have any addresses, sorry. Regards, Lesley. Essex. UK
