Perhaps you've been looking in the wrong place or it's right on the border of two counties.     I think you need to look at earlier census records, 1841, 1851, 1861 and 1871. Like me, you'll have to pay for these unless you can find a local FHS centre of Library that has Find My Past or Ancestry for free. However, Find My Past has a pay per view option where you could look them all up for about six UK pounds (A$12).     You should try and find marriage and births of children on FreeBMD. David's birth should be there as well as it looks like it was after 1837. It looks like there was also another son William c1859. But I would need to pay to see the full data.     Peter in Sydney ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ENG-WORCESTER-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
