Title: 1851 census sheffield
Post by: yoyo on Wednesday 23 March 05 15:00 GMT (UK)

I understand that Sheffield archives have a census index for the Sheffield area for the 1851 census.  Could anyone possibly look up Alexander Donaldson in this index and let me have a page ref.  He was born Scotland about 1832 and I believe he was lodging in Sheffield at this time.  I would be extremely grateful.

Hi Ticker
Thanks for asking.  I still haven't found Alexander in 1851 - he may or may not be in Sheffield but I know he married there mid 1850's.  He was originally from somewhere in Scotland.

Hi Ticker
Afraid its not the right person - my Alexander was a tailor, and a very elusive one at that  - not only does he appear from nowhere, he then disappears again 15 years later, leaving behind wife & kids!
Thanks for trying,
Julia
