Could SKS look up the following family for me please? I was in the Sheffield Archives today and found the family on the 1851 census index but I wasn't able to look up the actual entry and wasn't able to book any more time for a fortnight :( There is : Phillip Wain 52 Cheadle, Staffs Mary Wain 52 Cheadle, Staffs Hannah Wain 18 Sheffield Harriet 24 Sheffield John 21 Sheffield The reference is 2339/36b - I'd love to see the full details for this family and confirm that John is a son in this family - I haven't come across him before. I'm hoping that the parents are still alive on the 1861 census. Thanks - Shelagh
