1851 or 1861 census lookup please William Smith - Tunstall/Burslem
« on: Monday 28 February 05 21:04 GMT (UK) »
William Smith was born circa 1852 probably in Burslem he later married Esther and settled in Tunstall - I'm hoping someone help me see if he shows up on the 1861 census and to find out who his parents and what they did?

Im also very keen to find where in staffordshire his parents lived?

Again

Many thanks for taking the time to read this and any help you can supply

John :)

Hiya John

I've had a look on the 1861 census but there are 69 Matches in Staffordshire born around 1852 - none of them listed as being born in Burslem. Are his parents names on his marriage certificate?
