Dear list, I am a new member and am interested - on behalf of a friend - in the name BACKHOUSE in St Giles in the Fields, Finsbury, London and Benhall, Suffolk. William BACKHOUSE was christened in Benhall in 1817, I believe, and is found in the censuses for Little Wild St., St Giles, London in 1851-1871 (confirming the place of birth and with age fitting). I am yet to find him in 1841 but he married in Lambeth in 1840 to Eliza DANIELL, so would have been resident in or around, I am pretty sure. There are a number of people on Ancestry interested in this name with whom I have been in touch - and who seem to have information from the IGI or similar sources going back to a 1714 christening of Robert BACKHOUSE in Yoxford. I would be grateful to hear from anybody interested in the name or who might be able to help, with whom I can put my friend in touch. Yours, Ian Thompson Bromley London.
