Title: Francis Bydall/ Frank B Gould
Post by: fairfax on Sunday 27 September 09 18:57 BST (UK)

Hi

Can anyone help?  I'm trying to trace a Francis Bydall who according to the 1891 Census was recorded as being aged 6, born in Wordsley and was an adopted son within a Gould household.  The head was a Mary Gould. I cannot find Francis on the 1901 Census other than a Frank B Gould living with a Richard and Hannah Gould. he is 16 and place of birth given as Wordsley.  Richard is the same, I think, as the one in the 1891 census for the Gould household, the occupations tally for both census.  A Frank B Gould was killed in action in France 1916.  The record states he was born in Wordsley, but gives no age.

thanks  Fairfax
