Thanks Flick & Ginny.

The links you have found are all with the same family.

I think he must have been away at sea at the time of the earlier census'.

The family seemed to break up around 1860 leaving the father, Ambose and a son in the Kings Lynn Workhouse whilst the mother Susanna moved to Grimsby with other members of the family.

Thanks again for your help, Mike.

Could someone please look up where Edmund was living and who with in 1851 - 1861 & 1871 please.

He was a sailor in 1881 so might be found on board a ship?

Thanks, Mike.
