Hello
I am trying to find William Scrase born in Bristol abt 1831. His father was William and mother Charlotte. In 1851 William was aged 20 and a porter. He had brothers Henry and Thomas and a sister Louisa. I think Louisa and Thomas died between 1844 and 1848. I cant locate him in any other census and can't find a death.
Could I please borrow some ones eyes?Thankyou

Simon is his brother. He was Henry Simon and changed every now and again from Henry to Simon. Simon (Henry) married Ruth Breaker.
The 1841 census is spot on its just further census I cant find William
