Hello All,
FamilySearch.org shows the following:-
Household FARRUGIN, G 1831 40 M Westminster London, Middlesex

However I cannot find this record on Ancestry. I'd be grateful for a fresh pair of eyes to locate it.
Many thanks
Paul
:-)

There is no record of anyone called Farrugin on free bmd from 1838 to 1901.

Could you give some clue as to how you got to this?

Thanks

According to the census image he was an artist, born Malta.

Will be back with transcription .....

.... here it is:

FARRUGIN, G M 40 1831 Malta - he is unmarried

Piece: 147 Folio: 57 Page: 12
Registration District: Westminster
Civil Parish: St Anne
Municipal Borough: Westminster

Address: Gerrard Street, St Anne, Westminster County: London, Middlesex

Looks as though he was living alone in what seems a quite bohemian neighbourhood, judging by the occupations and nationalities.

Hello Marie Celeste,
Many thanks for finding him. He is the person I'm looking for. Can I ask is there anyone else in the same house as him.
Thanks

Hello Patchem,
How the heck did you find it under that name. I thought I had tried every angle but it's so far removed from his name I'd never of found him.
Thanks very much.
Paul

I used these details from MareCeleste to check that ancestry had him down somewhere.

You could go and submit a correction if you are convinced it is actually Farrugin.

Hello Patchem,
I think it's Farrugia but i need to try and obtain some documentation from Plymouth Archives to verify that it is him before making any corrections.
Thanks
