John Gee .On 1861 census he is with wife and family.

John Gee Head 29 collier
Sarah Gee Wife 27
Thomas Gee son 6
Eliz Gee Daur 5
Mary Gee Daur 3
Wm Gee son 1
All born Billinge ,Lancs

Can someone please see if they can find John Gee and his parents on the 51 and 41 census.

According to the 71/81/61 census his birth year was 1830/31/32 and all the Gee families in the later census were colliers and lived in the same area of Billinge.

Thank you
Regards Mary.

Unfortunately none of the censuses for John & Sarah, then Sarah as a widow give a clue as to parents.

There is just no sign of a John Gee other than the one Roy found.
