1851 Hicks

[Tati]

He's the right age too.
Just trying to find him in 1881 for you to have a look at  the family.
I'll be right back - hopefully!

[Tati]

1881 reference is RG11/2368 85 41
Son Josiah W has turned into William, apparently.

[Tati]

Oops - just seeing he's the one you had already found in 1881

Wow! So it looks like Eliezer was actually Ebenezer! I hadn't thought of that as a name!! D'oh!
Do you have access to the censuses that he appears on? If you have, would you be able to tell me the info.
Thank you so much for helping me with this! What a jem you are!

All by himself, as it seems. There is a wife underneath, but she seems a little old for him and there's a different schedule number.
