Bill, Have you got the disc for 1881 - I've just looked on LDS 1881 census - if you skip on a couple of households you get William Horscroft, shepherd at Nr Friths, Chiddingley - Dorcas's brother? Emma. |

Hi Bill Had a look on 1837 online and found the following: Marriage: 1869 Apr/May/June Qtr. Tom Stringer Deakin - Poplar-Vol 1c-pge 990 and abit further down the page: same yr and Qtr- Tom Stringer Deakins - Poplar - vol 1c - pge 990. I went through the years 1848 and 1849 to try and find birth,but no Tom Stringer,loads of Thomas and Williams.Made note of some of those, if you want them ask and l'll send seperately. I had hoped the marriage would have given me the brides name - but nope.Have a few more credits spare if l can look again for you. Good luck Jude |

Hi Jude Gr.grdad married a Dorcas Horscroft. Thought I had her death record from GRO as 1920, but had my cheque returned by Registrar - they say no, and they say they have checked with adjoining registration districts. That's service for you! Must have misread some one else. Have to totally redo that search. If you can find anything at all, such as you previous, will be most grateful. Regards Badger Bill Worthing |

Hi Emma, Thanks again. Yes I now have 1881 census, but as yet have not had time to delve deeply. From what I have seen, I reckon you are right in concluding William is Dorcas's brother. Just wish she wouldn't keep changing her age! Just having a quick look before joining wife in lounge. May have more time tomorrow to check thru GC. I am so grateful to all those who have helped in this hunt. Regards Badger Bill Worthing |
