Trying to find out what happened to a few relatives so was hoping someone could lookup 1851 & 1861 census data to tell me who was living with William Maynard (b1845, Menheniot Cornwall). He is listed as being in Liskeard in both census indexes.

Thanks in advance.

No - 99% sure he was still in Liskeard (Menheniot) as that is what Genesreunited has on it's link to census info as below:

MAYNARD WILLIAM 15 Liskeard, Liskard


Added: The family were farmers so not sure they would have had the money for a boarding scool

Thanks very much - that then opens up the question of what happened to Francis. I can't seem to find him on the 1871 index (this was the reason i wanted a search on William!!)

Penreath is the name of the farm that they owned.

I wonder if i might ask one more favour. A 1861 search on the father - Henry Maynard b1818 in Menheniot.

No I cannot see Francis, perhaps he went abroad. I have only glanced at FreeBMd but cannot see a death that fits.
