Hi diddy, got print out from library of relevant document from Ancestry...
It reads: William Hird, Boarder, Married, (Its an M not an S but could look like a U), 37, Grocers Manager, Worker, Lincolnshire,Lincoln.
So this could be him, but no trace of the same name in 1911 census, and although the eldest daughter of the family he was boarding with was 20 years his junior, and she emmigrated to Canada there is no record of an association there....
so he proabably fell behind the sprouts in the grocers shop never to be seen again....
it happens in Leeds.
I am curious about the 'boarding' situation
Regards

Hi diddymiller, your thoughts would be welcome.....today I discovered that a Daniel and Charlotte Surfleet were in the employment of David Hird, farmer, Lincoln,  the father of our missing ggrandfather. Is this too much of a coincidence? Any ideas about lines of enqqiiry to establish any connections?

william surfleet aged 51 ,1901 census was born candlesby, Lincs.

looking back 1891 /1881 no sign of Daniel - could be a brother.
in 1861 /1851 with parents but no Daniel,

Hi,

I have David Herd, farming at Hanworth Fen, and in his employ were Daniel Surfleet (b 1816) and Charlotte Surfleet (b 1811), infor taken from 1841 census.  I think also that Daniel married a Caroline and they had two children Robert b 1846 and Mary b 1848. Daniel was farming 12 acres.

Hi - info from 1851 census - attached - living with his mother Ann, aged 72. Not sure if this brings us any closer to a link....except that Daniel is farming in Branston, which is where David Herd was from...

may have just been family friends which is why William was boarding with the family in 1901.
