Good morning I wondered whether someone might be able to find my Gt Gfather on the 1871 census? I've been searching for several years and still cannot find him. Ernest Arthur ALLEN was born in Solihull workhouse to Ann Louisa ALLEN (unmarried) in 1868. On the 1871 census, Ann is working as a domestic servant just across the county border in Yardley, Worcestershire, but I cannot find anything for Ernest. By 1881, Ann is a Dairymaid at Fen House in Balsall Heath and Ernest is a groom in the same establishment. His younger half brother (also no father) is a lodger a couple of doors away. Any help would be most appreciated :-) Heather
