Dear List Has anyone got access to the 1851 Hereford census that could look up the following for me please? Norris James Norris - born 1808 Hentland, Hereford Thomas Norris - born 1810 Hentland, Hereford John Norris - 1813 Hentland, Hereford Parents were John Norris - Mary Williams I am also looking for a Henry Reeves who was married to a Louisa and they had children: Harriett, and William. Harriett was born in 1856, christened in Foy, so it is possible that Henry/Louisa were not yet married in 1851 so Henry could still be living with parents. Any help much appreciated.

Hello Keith, I have a Harriet Watkins christened 3 Feb 1835 in Eaton Bishop. She was the daughter of James Watkins and Mary. Batch #C138791 James Watkins married Mary Skyrme at Eaton Bishop on 30 January 1826. Batch #M138792 BUT there is also a marriage of a John Watkins to Harriet Jones at Eaton Bishop on 30 November 1830. I can't find a child of this marriage, so far. One of these Watkins should be yours! By the names you are researching, we may be connected, as I also have Watkins, Maddox and Jones!! However, only the Maddox appear to be from the Shropshire/Montgomery area.

Back on the list after an absence of some time. Is it possible for SKS to look at either the 1891 census or directories to see if William H. BRADLEY was still the Rector of Kingsland. He was Rector on the 1881 census and I am trying to trace the relationship to my Greatgrandfather John Miller Bradley who was witness at his wedding. Also if it is possible to find who his wife was before his second marriage in Wilmslow in 1879. William gave his address as Kingsland then. Regards Jean Loughborough.

To Don Maddox, Hello Don, im not sure if you & i have been in contact about the Maddox family, sorry if we have my memory is going! Im trying to find out who Harriet Watkins mother was do you have her in your file? Keith.

Hello Keith A baptismal entry is the obvious place to find Harriet's mother's name, but presumably you've tried that without success? Do you have names of any female off-spring (ie Harriet's daughters) which might give a clue? Have you looked for father John WATKINS in the 1841/1851 Census? If you can pin him down and his wife's with him then you'll have her Christian name and (in the 1851) place of birth.
