Jacquiel, the document you found where they were both servants in Pimlico, was that James' baptism or is there another document?

Is that 1861 posted the right Census then?, got confused a bit!...

Looking at previous page is Eliza Langham (36) Tailors wife...Essex. Gt. Dunmow.

(is she one of many at 'Running Horse' Beer Shop & Lodging House)

Chris :)

(any sight of Benjamin Liddiard 1861?)

Apologies haven't had internet today.

AustinQ no other document, was passed on by a lady in England who advised me that James Langham Snr was working as a potman at the Kings Arms in Pimlico in the 1861 census.

Chris No I haven't located him in the 1961 census as yet. I have him in the 1841, 1851, 1871 and 1881.

Appreciate all the help, this really is proving to be a major brickwall

Same kind of advert from The Morning Advertiser 09 Aug 1860

Wanted, a Potman. Apply King's Arms, College Street, Westminster, between ten and eleven o'clock today. None need apply without a good character.



Think this is the King's Arms in the 1861 Census.

Londonbelle thank you for the information, my lady Christine said that she wasn't sure this was the right James Langham. She hasn't been able to find anything else on a James Langham because we have so little information on him, I can honestly say I have no idea where he came from at all which is why I am at a brick wall.

It is so frustrating without further documentation which I don't know where to find. The baptism gives very little information other than the names and the birth certificate only has Mary's name on it.

thank you all
Jacquie
