Dear ????, Sorry you did not give your name. I know how you feel about not having much luck. I have spent eight years searching the 1901 census for my paternal grandparents. Hundreds of people write to me to thank me for helping them find their ancestors. I am so pleased for them but I can’t find my own! Don't give up! You just have to keep plodding on and one day you will find something significant when you least expect it. Good luck with your research. Kind Regards.
