Morning all, The last 2 evenings I have been searching for William Leonard Davis on the 1901 census, and failed. I have him in 1891 and 1911, but can't find him or any of his family in 1901. Maybe somebody else can find him? |

I'll take a look but don't forget the Boer War was going on then and many men of that age are missing. |

Thanks Rose, excuse my ignorance, I didn't know when the Boer War was. Interesting thought, but I can't find any of the rest of his family either. |

Is this (some of) the family in 1901. Some of the details aren't right,but they look close. |

Archie marries in Salisbury in 1908 so they must still be around. |

I think Maureen found them. Charles was born in South Newton and is a carpenter. The writing is very poor. Andrew must be Archie. |

South Newton? Yes must be him, well done. That ties up with 1891, he said South Newton then. Thanks both of you, that's part of the mystery solved. I wonder why he just called himself Charles, on William's birth certificate he just called himself Tom. Sounds a right dodgy character! |

Just remembered something else I should have added. I did find a William Davis on findmypast, he's even in the right area, but still living with his parents who have the wrong names. |
