Hi, I am new to this list, but am trying to trace any record of my Gt Gt Gt grandfather, Philemon Harrison. Philemon lived for most of his life in Derbyshire and in 1851 he was still living in Derbyshire. However, I have lost track of him after that, and the only death record I can find in the name of Philemon Harrison is in 1859 in Cheltenham, Glos. I've no idea why he would have gone to Cheltenham, if indeed this is the my Philemon, but if anyone has any ideas or any connection, or even know where I can find out more information I'd be very grateful. Thanks, Lin

It this him of 1851 census ? Ancestry had him as Philmore Harrison Ashburn Road, Derby St Werburgh Philemon Harrison 38 Brick Layer May 39 Emma 15 John 11 Frederick 8 Thomas 6 Ann 2 Harriet 1 month Regards David

Lin, One possibility is a railway job. The Midland Railway, inits early days, moved employees all over the network, and the line from Derby to Bristol ran through Glos.

I am pleased to advise that RG9 1708 Long Ashton 1861 census, RG12 1918 Axbridge, RG12 1924 Clutton and RG12 1940 Bath have been uploaded to FreeCEN. The following pieces of the 1861 Somerset census are now available to be searched free on FreeCEN: 1861 Census RG9 1607 Dulverton RG9 1622 North Petherton RG9 1631 Curry Rivell RG9 1685 Bathwick RG9 1708 Long Ashton RG9 1641 South Petherton (will be loaded mid to late February) 1891 Census RG12 1918 Axbridge RG12 1924 Clutton RG12 1940 Bath We are seeking transcribers and checkers for the 1861, 1871 and 1841 censuses. We are particularly interested in anybody who would like to assist with Bath and the surrounding area for 1861. If you are interested in assisting with this project please contact me off board. All you need is a spreadsheet program. We will provide other software and images of the census piece that you are working on. We are also seeking transcribers and checkers for the 1891 census. You will need a fiche reader for this year as the images are on fiche. 80% of Somerset 1861 has been issued for transcription and 40% of Somerset 1861 has been transcribed. The pieces above have been checked and loaded onto the database. Several pieces are being checked at the moment. However I need volunteers to check the backlog of transcriptions so that more of the county can be made available free to researchers. FreeCEN is a free site to search census transcriptions. There are now over 9 Million records on FreeCEN and many more are being added each month.
