Norman, May I suggest contacting Shelagh A Mason in Kent, UK, who is a member of the Guild Of One Name Studies, aka GOONS, - because she has a large data base of STEAD names...and is very nice;-) Contact her using: [email protected] It is often worth checking a surname on the Guild website as many surnames are being extensively researched - sadly no Smiths or Browns.....but lots of others. Here's the page to look at all those currently registered: http://www.one-name.org/register.shtml Good luck, Ruth in Brum. > The Two Charlies are my gg grandparents. I'd appreciate it if anyone can locate them in 1851 presumably in Bradford, no doubt in Bowling. > > Wakefield Road is pretty long. Does anyone know which way the numbers run? > > Thanks in advance, Norman G. > > 1861 census; 118 Wakefield Road, Bowling, Bradford; > Charles STEAD, head, mar., 21, stone mason, b.
