Yes, thanks for looking. I've had agood look at the entries for Samuel and family. It looks possible, but several things don't fit: george I think turns out to be george alfred. william is william e, and I think my william is william henry. george turns up in a later census as agricultural labourer, whereas he worked for NRC (National/Northern Research Council ?), went to college to learn metallurgy and emigrated to St Petersburgh in Russia where he set up blast furnaces, until he was driven out by the revolution. on his return he went to stay with william in eccleshall sheffield. Finding william in sheffield might be easier. Someone in sheffield must have some answers. John Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
