Hello Scruffy

I think you'd be better starting your own thread with this query, because lopesy's question has been answered and his (or her) post will slowly slip down the list and off the radar!  I suggest you choose a title like "Stephen J Land -  absconder?", keep it in the Common room ie this board unless you know where he was from.  In that case put it on the relevent county board.  Put in some dates and a bit of detail if you know it.

I'm sorry I can't help with the reference - I don't subscribe to Ancestry either.

Good luck

Hi Laurina,

Can I ask where on Ancestry you found this information, I managed to find his birth , marriage and census entries. Always learning and looking for new bits to explore 

[Laurina]

Just typed in his name and it was one of the options available. If it doesn't come up straight away click on bottom of 'Narrow by Category' menu Family Trees. This will show you other people researching Stephen Land - if the tree is a 'public' one you may view the information. If the tree is a 'private one' you need to email the person to gain access.

Hope this helps

Oh I see it was information from a tree, thanks for that. I thought maybe it was a newspaper article.

Many thanks to all that have helped especially Laurina, I too would love to know where he went I have been trying to find out what happened for ages, in answer to someone elses question I stumbled upon Stephen Land absconder while doing a search for Harriet Oxborough on Ancestry it came up as Public Memories, but as I am not a full member I couldn`t see the info 

Many Thanks

Hi Sheila,

I too have been looking for ages, he was my grt grandfather also.
My grandfather was William Land.
Iwould love to find out what happened to him, where he went after that day at the fair, whether he assumed another name and had another family?.
Look forward to hearing from you again.
