Title: Silas ARTHURS - Census look up please-Completed thank you
Post by: supernan on Wednesday 11 August 10 21:56 BST (UK)
Found this gentleman on the 1881 Census living at Eckington, Derby with his wife and family.   He married Ann Harries in 1868 In Pontypridd.

I really am trying to find him with his parents (hopefully his father is George)
so would appreciate a sighting on the 1851 and 1861 Census

Silas Arthurs born about 1849 New Building Somerset.

Many thanks
