London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Census Look up 1851, 1861 - Richard DRUITT - a solid brick wall 6 feet thick

I have seen the occupation of tinman in my Truscott ancestors from the St Austell area.  Some of them moved to Widnes in Lancs where they worked in chemical factories. It might be worth researching the occupation a bit to see if it gives any clues.

I've had a good look on The Genealogist, and found several the right age, but none of them born in Hackney. Perhaps he was missed off the record, as suggested.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I have emailed them, and am waiting for a reply.

The Common Room / Re: Someone has put my tree on Ancestry
« on: Friday 24 April 09 15:31 BST (UK)  »
I took my own data off the 'net years ago because of a similar experience.  The person concerned started a postal list and shared everything that anyone had sent her.  I am still getting contacted by people who have my INCORRECT data which I have long since corrected.  I do not trust any of the data she sent me, and wonder whether the other people involved were similarly irritated about it all.

In any case, the research is half the fun and I have little desire to be handed it all on a plate.  Unless someone has inside information on those mysterious illegitimacies now  ;)

Berkshire / John Exall in Reading Gaol 1841?
« on: Thursday 23 April 09 22:37 BST (UK)  »
John Exell appears in Reading Gaol in the 1841 census and I would like to find out whether he is in fact my ancestor who was born in Sonning in 1803 and died in Longford, Middx in 1857.  Does anyone know whether there are records for the Gaol around that period, what they contain, and where they are held?
Thanks

Does anyone know of any school records covering the Longford and Harmondsworth area in the 19th century, and where they can be seen?
Thanks
April
