I'm wondering if any Miss Marples or Hercules Poirots on the list could try and find Benjamin RADFORD (born circa 1821 in Thringstone, Leicester) on 1841, 1851 or 1861 censuses? He was married to Elizabeth (born circa 1825 in Walsall) and she is a lodger (married) on 1861 census but no sign of Benjamin. I have him on 1871, 1881 and 1891 censuses (he died in 1896). RADFORD has been enumerated as RATFORD and Thringstone caused the enumerator a headache but in 1891 he was given as born in Hucknall, Notts. Any help appreciated as I've tried everything (I think anyway!) to find him. Lin A true friend walks in when the world walks out
