I have seen the original register entry and to my eyes it looks like Bollard and shoemaker
I have this theory that when the census taker arrived at his doorstep that he had a cold and Pollard sounded like Bollard.

appreciate the reprise - it puts it down quite clearly. Now to hopefully find out whether the Bollards were the Pollards -- any thoughts from anyone who is vastly more experienced than me a  beginner
thanks

I am most grateful to all who have helped me with this query.
I have decided to stick with the forum which has been of immense help.
I hope within the next couple of years to get to Hull in the hope somewhere there will be the answers
As can be seen from my posts I have hit a brick wall with William Pollard shoemaker who may have been enumerated as Bollard on the 1841 census. Dates and names seem confusing. As posted before I am 99% sure of the William Pollard married to Lang. Its his father that is the problem another William
I dont know how to validate this info either way and how to go back prior to 1841 and thats my problem

Hampshire & IOW Lookup Requests / Woodhouse and Greer family-Portsmouth

would appreciate any information on the Woodhouse family - George Woodhouse and Frances Greer, both lived in Portsmouth. Period 1915 - 1946 is what I am interested in as records ie census etc is not available.

Whilst i have had immense help from people on this group for which I am grateful I have hit a brick wall and have no idea how to move forward.
Should I now try and get  a professional genealogist who may break through the wall.
I would not know how to go about this and costs involved.
Would appreciate any help as I am a long way from Hull where the family lived
