Frank Butcher, born 13/07/1858, Dorking, Surrey. In 1871 he's at home with his parents aged 13. In 1891 he's with his wife (they married 1886) at their Bakers shop. No sign of him in 1881 - have tried variations on name etc... Any suggestions? Sarah |

Your guess is as good as mine?!? He certainly spent the rest of his life there - all around the dorking area. But then he could be visting friends or out the country... ...don't really know where to start looking! |

no luck so far. I have tried searching for just bakers in 1881. Only one with the name Butcher. Could Frank have had a middle name that youy know of? Arthur Butcher born 1862, Horley Surrey address - Yalding Village Grocers shop occ - Baker RG11/0924 Registration district: Maidstone Sub-registration district: Yalding ED, institution, or vessel: 4 Folio: 42 Page: 5 Don't think he is yours tho. |

gotta go, but I will check the thread again later and see if anyone has found him, if not, I will try and carry on. |

Lol re candlestick maker! When ever I mention him I get the obligatory 'awright Paaat' from my husband! Have given up and attempt to keep mouth shut now! No middle name I'm afraid so don't think its Arthur (dates and place of birth not quite right either). Looks like this is going to be some challenge! Is there anyway of finding out if he was out the country? Sarah |

Seems not to be my day - appear to have lost the whole of another family now.... :-( Maybe tomorrow will be more successful! |

Could he have been in hospital? If so, maybe only his intials were on census? Long shot I know! |

Could he have been briefly married before? |

Oh Mandy I'm exhausted with looking!!! I have tried everything I can think of including all 'Franks' born at the right time and in the area, all 'Butchers' etc etc. I think I have to accept he is not on the 1881 census. Could he have been doing miltary service? If so could that have taken him out of the country? Sorry to ask such a naive question but still finding my feet in the world of genealogy! |
