I wonder if anyone can help with tracing my difficult gt grandfather and his roots. From the census data, James HEYWOOD was born abt 1832 in Middleton (c1861 London), Rhodes (Middlesex, sic, in c1871 London) and Rhodes when he was Lodging in Middleton in c1881 with his second London born wife and their 3 children still in London. He is variously described as a Machine printer on calico, colour printer and commercial traveller etc. His first wife in the 1861 census was 10 years older than him, born Goodwood Sussex and also described as 'Do' ie a machine printer on calico. I have assumed he trained in Rhodes/ Middleton before moving to London but have not found him in the 1841 & 1851 cd's but many sheets are unreadable, or in the transcribed damaged pages. Nor have I found either marriage or a death for his first wife before his second marriage by the time of the 1871 census. He named my grandfather Henry Halliwell (various spellings) Heywood and his sister Florence Seelig Heywood, two interesting second names. Any help or advice would be very gratefully received David Fishguard Pembs
