Thanks ladyhawk Not been having any luck on this so far.
have found him definitely as the right one in the 1891, 190 and 1911 census's and a likely reference to him in 1881 census as a boarder. he is a cloth presser in in 1881 and 1891 census and a fish frier on own accord in 1901 and 1911. Have not been able to locate him in 1871 census but have a possible record in 1861 and 1851 with parents names William and Ann.
these records mostly show birth as Otley.
Would Otley by chance be the registration district for calverley back at that time?
