Esther Report 21 Mar 2013 11:29

I found my great great grandfather, William Reeves born 1832 (supposedly in Cheshire)in the 1871 census.
Its definitely the right one because he had 11 children:
Silvester 1849
Mary 1851
William 1852
Eliza 1854
John 1856
David 1857
Alice 1861
James 1863
Alfred 1865
Albert 1867
Adaline 1869

But Im struggling to go back further and find out about his parents and where they lived. If any one would please help me it would truly appreciated.
Thank you.

Regards

Esther

Fantastic, thank you!

Can I just ask, it says he was born in Clotton, will that be Clotton Hoofield?

Almost certainly as Clotton Hoofield is in the parish of Tarvin.
