Hello Wendy Thank you so very much for looking for my VINSON's. I knew another pair of eyes would find them. I must admit that PINSON is not one of the variations I looked at. I am most grateful to you for your help and hope that I might be able to reciprocate one day. Thank you.

Hi Judith, You are most welcome! When searching the census on Ancestry.com, I found them by first looking on the 1851 by putting in the information you supplied to get their years of birth. When searching the 1841 I just put in William (no surname), searching in county Yorkshire, and put Hull in the Keyword box, then clicked search. This gave me 628 matches, which was a few to many, so I hand wrote VINSON on a piece of paper and used my imagination on how the V could be misread! I then looked for a William with an Ann as his spouse. I have found many people on the census using this method. When searching other census records, you don't end up with as many results as you can put in the spouse name, which of course makes it a lot easier. I thought this little tip may help yourself and other's on the list. Cheers Wendy Perth, West Aust Judith Kettlewell wrote: > Hello Wendy > > Thank you so very much for looking for my VINSON's.
