ok I am looking for the census records for joseph a west born 1867 in Clerkenwell,middlesex,london.


I have the family in 1871 living at corporation buildings,in the parish of st james, Clerkenwell,joseph aged 4 all fine.

my problems start with 1881 & 1891 records,the nearest I can get for 1881 is bowling green lane, Clerkenwell but these are single single initial names and it seems to be the middle initial? could this be the family I am looking for?


1891 try as I might I do not seem to be able to find joseph at all I have the mothers death in 1887.

I have joseph in 1901 & 1911.

any help in finding this family in 81/91 census would be most gratefully received,

hope someone can find them as I think I may go mad keep going over the same records.

thanks sue
