Hi Chris and Caroline, Thanks for the 1881 census lookup but this is not my Edward I found him and his family on the 1881 listed under the name LE FERE. The many odd spellings of the name make it a bit of a nightmare to find the right one. Any idea how I would find more details of the family of the Mayor of Southampton Samuel Le Fevre (1826)??.

Oh well at least you found him Carole!! The only info I have is what is on our list of mayors on our website, but if you contact the archives at Southampton Council I am sure Jo Smith will come up with some more info, she is a very helpful lady. Her email addy is: jo.smith@southampton.gov.uk Chris and Caroline Carole Cumber wrote: >Hi Chris and Caroline, >Thanks for the 1881 census lookup but this is not my Edward I found him and >his family on the 1881 listed under the name LE FERE.
