I'm still looking for Albert Waterhouse.
I have a family bible that gives his birth as 6 sep 1855, and his parents as Samuel and Sarah -
I have his birth record, and I have him married to Agnes in 1891 and 1901 - but I can't find him in the 61 and 71 census' at all
The area is Bradford.

Annie,

There is a 9 year old Albert Waterhouse living at Rickardshaw Lane, Pudsey which is in the Bradford Registration District in 1861. It shows his mother as Sarah but the father is Sydney. There are siblings of Charles, James, Vincent, Sarah Ann - all older and Joseph E was younger. In 1871 he is still with parents and a youger brother Edwin who might be the Jospeh E of the 1861 cenus and appeared to be shown as a mason. Could this be him?

Hi Violet
I've checked that one before and I don't think it's him
The only other sibling in the bible is John Edward b. 17 feb 1861
thanks for looking
