Hi Listers I am hoping someone may be able to help me. In the 1881 Census I have a William SMITH Aged 15 born Thornbury, Gloucester, Census Place Wickwar. I know he belongs to our Smith family as at the time of the Census he was living with his Grandmother (my gg Grandmother) I would be grateful if someone could locate him in the 1871 Census in the hope that his parents would also be recorded. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards Joan in Oz.

Hello Joan, Here he is in Wickwar living with grandparents, but there is an unmarried daughter with them, so perhaps he was illegitimate???

Hello Marg Thank you for the information re the Smith site. I will most certainly follow it up and hopefully may find a connection. It never ceases to amaze me how generous Genie people can be with their time and interest. Many thanks Joan
