Member Since: March 2003 Posts: 2,377 Send Message	Hi PollyPoppet, thank you for you latest finds on Sarah White nee Davison. I am expecting the owner of this family to call round in the next day or two and she should be well impressed by your efforts. Sorry for the delay but I have had to control my Family History sleuthing addiction to give time to my garden and allotment! The one person I am still hoping to find in the 1871 census is Births Mar 1865 Bentley Eliza Ann Huddersfield 9a 364 as she is Emily's mother. Are you able to see her please? Frances

Member Since: March 2003 Posts: 2,377 Send Message	Thank you for all those PollyPoppet, they certainly add a fair bit of colour to this family. I struck unlucky with the 1881 for both Births Mar 1855 Davison John William Wakefield 9c 24 and Births Mar 1865 Bentley Eliza Ann Huddersfield 9a 364 as both had left home, leaving me without knowing who their parents were. If they show up in the 1871 census I would be most grateful for the detail. Frances
