Hello Listers, I would appreciate some help please on finding my REED family in the 1861 and 1871 censuses. They appear in the 1851 and 1881 as below but try as I may on Ancestry I cannot find any trace of them in between. Where might they be? James appears as below in 1851, 1881, 191 and 1901 censuses and he definitely is not the James Read b c 1834 Islip, Northants appearing in 1871 (RG9/959). In the 1851 census on (HO107/1550) they are at 10 High Street Shadwell:- William b c 1806 in Whitby Yorkshire - Occupation "Master of Dining Rooms"?
