Hi Sam Just read where he was in 1881 again and he was in Derbyshire so I think you may be right. All I looked at was born Middlesex and discounted it. told you my eyes were going crossed lol!!!1 Thanks Sam. Cheryl

He's HEZEKIAH and not Hezekial which is probably why you didn't find him!

Place of birth could be a mistake - he is the only one that fits and his occupation is the same of that of his father on the 1871 census. I would say it was your man. Sam x

Hi Sam Not sure, his birth is listed Lynn Norfolk on both 1861/1871 Census. But I can't find his birth anywhere either. As far as I'm aware the family didn't have any connections with Middlesex, but you never know. Cheryl
