Norfolk Lookup Requests / 1851 census Great Yarmouth request
« on: Sunday 28 April 13 22:21 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

Could someone be a sweetie and give me the details of this fellow?

His name is Thomas Bensley, or Bensly.  He is a shoe maker from South Walsham, born in the 1770s.  As a point of interest, you'll find him in the baptismal registers of one of the Walsham churches as Benslin.  And if I traced his family correctly, his father is a Bensling!  He has been a most challenging one to trace.  There were quite a few Thomas Bensleys born in the mid seventeenth century. 

I'm interested in with where, and with whom he is living.  That should nail it down for me.  I didn't realise he was still alive by this point until a little while ago. 

An 1841 look up would be nice, but not essential. 

Many thanks,

Michael

Suffolk Lookup Requests / SOLVED 1930/40s Trade Directory or Phone Book

A bit more recent than usual but if anyone has access to either a Trade Directory or a phone book from the thirties or forties,  if they could take a peak at Hubert Pedler, of Mendlesham.  He was the local medical officer of health during this period. 

The Pedlers apparently lived in the countryside, away from Mendlesham itself.  An exact address would be lovely.

Many thanks in advance.

Many thanks, sorry about the cock up.  Must be getting print blindness in my relatively old age.

Oops - that explains it!  Sorry.  Never liked Victorians.

Hi,

Can someone with the appropiate census run this chap through the 1891 census please?  If you could also manage the 1901 census too that would be terrific. 

He will be in London, possibly Westminster and will be aged just 5.

I would love to have the names, ages and birth places of his parents and the occupation of his father which  will be medical. 

Many, many thanks

Michael
