I have this family on the 1871 census: 1871 England Census about Jephe Wells Name: Jephe Wells Age: 9 Estimated birth year: abt 1862 Relation: Son Father's name: John Mother's name: Eliza Gender: Male Where born: Knighton, Leicestershire, England Civil parish: Knighton Ecclesiastical parish: Peterborough Town: Knighton County/Island: Leicestershire Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Disability: View image Registration district: Blaby Sub-registration district: Wigston ED, institution, or vessel: 8 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 147 Household Members: Name Age Charles Wells 6 Clara Wells 13 Eliza Wells 40 Eliza Wells 11 Jephe Wells 9 John Wells 38 John H Wells 3 Sarah A Wells 18 After cross referencing the image with the birth reg, I can be sure that the name Jephe should be Jesse. I can not find this Jesse Wells on any other census or find a death record for him that fits. Any help would be great as this Jesse if proven alive could be the person I'm looking for concerning a family story. Vicky X

Yes, I've found his birth reg in 4th q 1861, so more or less right. Vicky X
