Hi
Thank-you all for your continued help
. It's so encouraging and exciting to learn more.
Bookbox, thanks for explaining about the census numbering. I have goggled to find out what a Tambour Worker is and have found its embroidery lace work.
Louisa maud , the Henry you found at Royal Hotel certainly sounds as if he may be Henry Metcalfe. I wish they would use their full names especially when they aren't common ones.
I have been in contact with the Enfield Local Studies Library and Archive. They kindly searched their records to see if the Pulsford name turned up. There was no record of a Henry Pulsford having a shop there. The only records were the children's baptisms . So it looks as if the family was there for only a short period of time.
I have found reference to a Henry Pulsford being a partner in Trelove, Pulsford and Son Button-sellers & Haberdashers, 40, St.Martin's-lane, Charing-cross. This was in the Directory of London and Westminster, & Borough of Southwark 1794. There may be no connection at all. I think my Henry would have been too young to be that person.
This genealogy is just like trying to do a very large jigsaw puzzle without know what the pictures looks like. Frustrating sometimes but very addictive.
One again thanks for your help.
