Title: William Mellor 1861 census
Post by: sigrid7 on Sunday 24 August 25 14:48 BST (UK)

Hi

I'm trying to locate William Mellor bc 1822 Cheshire on the 1861 census. He is a waterman/flatman and from my searches ( I'm not subscribed to any sites atm) I can't readily locate him even with the basic transcription information. I'm not sure if he is seperate to his wife, Mary Ann.

Thanks for any pointers to help locate him.

Thank you very much heywood - that is him! No wonder I couldn't find him, even using varients as it didn't pick up on Meller  >:(

Much appreciated, thank you.
