If anyone can I'd be very grateful. I'm looking for GEORGE LONGMAN, possibly in THORNBURY, SOUTH GLOS. Aged about 3 YEARS. Thank you.

Hi Tracy, I was hoping that the newly uploaded census may mention him, as I had seen that link before. This is were the trouble starts with the Longmans. They start moving everywhere. Frustrating.

Hi Sue. They're cousins. They're good. They stay still. But my direct ancestor George is giving me grief.

If he's the one in Somerset in 1861, try there in 1851. There's a thread offering lookups for that.
