Thanks for the info Liz.

I was wondering if I could trouble you for one more thing?

I am just wondering if any of the Daniels you mentioned as listed in the 1861 census were the only child.

Hope you don't mind, don't worry if it is too much trouble.

Thanks again.
Susan.

Dear Liz,

 Thanks again for your tremendous effort. I feel terrible to have asked for so much.

 My trouble is that Daniel ran away to sea at 12 and married here in Australia, without mentioning any of his details of origin on any documents.

I was under the impression that he was an only child, so unfortunately no luck with this census really.

But once again, 1000 thankyous.

Susan
