Are you searching on Ancestry? I used:-

First name.. Luc*
Last name.. Hall
Birth Year.. 1848 +/- 2
Keyword.. Dea*

Nothing in any other field.



Can't see Joseph in 1871.

If nothing comes up with your initial search go back and tick the 'Phonetic Search Surnames' box and then search again.

Oh Christina ! You are a star !

Thank you so much !

I never would have found it mistranscribed!

Thank you for the 1891 Eric !

I found Joseph's death registration in 1900 so I think the 1901 census will just be Lucy & possibly children.

I am trying to figure out how I came up with the name Lucy Bird.... I cannot think now cos it's been a branch of my family that I have left alone for a while because of too many 'brick walls' !
I know that I never add a name unless I am completely sure but just cannot remember how I got her maiden name.

Maybe it was familysearch.org I will go there now and check.

Thanks!
