Title: 1891 Census Look Up Please
Post by: tracey2608 on Wednesday 02 February 11 14:27 GMT (UK)
Hi,

Would someone be able to look for John William Colton born around 1885 Gainsborough in the 1891 census please. I have his mother as Alice but no fathers name.

Thanks
Tracey

Hi KGarrad,

I don't think that is the right family as John Williams mother is Alice Colton.

Thank you for trying to help though

It was the Gainsborough bit that threw me!

Must be this one then:

RG12/2588/138/1
Dunstan Lane, Metheringham

Colton, Maltby  Head  M  53  Ag Lab  b Bardney
Colton, Alice  Wife  F  53  b Bardney
Colton, Alice  Daughter  Single  F  24  Dressmaker  b Waddingworth
Colton, John W  Grandson  M  6  b Burringham

Colton, Sarah A  Granddaughter  F  3 months  b Metheringham



And still no mention of a father?!

Thats the right one this time KGarrad, and yes still no mention of his father which is what I was hoping it would show.

Thank you so much for your help
