Could someone help me find a William and Eliza Gwilliam in the 1871 census please. I am fairly sure that they are still living in Worcestershire. William was born in 1837 in Worcestershire.

Thanks from Alan.

No i do not Kath.

I only have a copy of William's baptism in 1814 at Defford Church in Worcestershire. THIS SHOULD READ BAPT at HARTLEBURY in 1837. SORRY!

There is a dubious marriage in 1864 at Droitwich, Worcs,
on the IGI. I say dubious because of the spelling of William's surname.
Eliza's maiden name was Bluck and i wonder if your previous census find has age and spelling mistakes in it too.

Thanks for your interest too. Alan.
