Title: 1871 census look up please
Post by: Kazlee on Sunday 02 August 09 17:11 BST (UK)

Hi,

Please can someone find the following on the 1871 census:-

Henry Tonks born abt. 1848 in Stirchley, Shropshire. His occ. is miner and he should be single and hopefully living with his family, so I can establish who they are.  I guess he will be living in Shropshire as he gets married later that year in the Shifnal area of Shropshire.

Thanks
Kaz

Thanks for the help.  I'm amazed as this family already feature in the family tree. It now looks like my g. grandmothers uncle married her sister in law 13 years earlier, that's probably how my g.grandmother & father met.
Thanks again.
