Hi Thanks for all the info and the link to the Hickleton site, I found it of great interest. I don't think the John Bailey in the 1891 census, that KLM kindly looked up for me, is mine, although I think the one from the Electorial records is. I looked the one up born in Clifton, Yorks, in 1901 and found him still as a footman, but at a different address. My John was born 1870 in Kirby Stephen, Westmorland, however he put Manchester as his birthplace in 1901, where his address was Hickleton Hall. This family has been a complete nightmare, they have been listed in different census under names Bell, Bayliff, Bailiffe and Bailey, which the name then stayed. I have not been able to find a birth index for John or his two brothers, whom were born in North Shields and Blackpool, I always thought families didn't do that much travelling back then, but they have definately proved me wrong. KLM could you please tell me, on the Electorial
registers, I don't suppose it said if his wife Alice was with him did it?
Many thanks for all your replies, best wishes, Jean
