Boon it is, and he has been discovered living in Southampton in the 1881 census by Lynda Ahmad who kindly looked him up, and he is described as a Free Church of England minister - all OK so far - however the point of all this is to locate the position of his church for Dave Jacobs (and presumably for Linda ), and I guess for me too now we've got this far!!! Soooo has anyone got a directory of the period (1880s) in which the Free Church of England chapel (or whatever) is listed under "Places of Worship" which gives its location, please???
