Member Since: January 2010 Posts: 111 Send Message	Dear all, As usual, by not having a findmypast subscription, I've run out of credit just when I was getting somewhere! I was wondering if a kind person might close the chapter on this for me and please look up on the 1911 census one William James Blake, born 1882, living in Witney (Oxfordshire). Thank you!

Member Since: January 2010 Posts: 111 Send Message	I know this is rather cheeky, but unfortunately that last piece of info has got me onto a roll and I can't stop! I was wondering if someone could do a look up on the 1891 census for a William James Blake born 1882, living in Amesbury Wiltshire please (then I promise I'll stop for the day :) )

	Just to reiterate what PH said. Don't hesitate to ask for look-ups, there are more people willing to do them than there are people asking for them.

Member Since: January 2010 Posts: 111 Send Message	Well! In that case! Last one of the day (before the wife drags me away!) could anyone please do an 1851 census lookup for a James Blake, born 1811, in Alderbury (Wiltshire), thank you! (PS. In the spirit of giving I really must invest in a subscription so can do the same likewise for other folk)
