Subject: 1881 Census lookup please!
Date: Tue, 01 Aug 2000 23:35:17 -0700


Several months ago several very generous people sent me some information
from the 1881 census. With that new information and having sent away for
several certificates I am slowly moving back in time. I am hoping that
somebody might be able to look up these two surnames for me.

Many thanks!

Charles Empson WITCHELL (or Witchet) and his wife Miriam Amelia WITCHELL.
Charles was a Masons Foreman in 1887. Miriam was born about 1829 in
Portsea, Hampshire. Their daughter Beatrice was living in Westbury On Tryn,
Gloucester in 1881, so they might be living nearby.

Charles E. (Ebenezer? or Empson?) WITCHELL born about 1860 probably in
Portsea, Hampshire. He is a son of the above and was living in or around
Bristol in 1889

George DAVIS was born about 1868 in Somerset? (having trouble finding his
birth certificate) I know that his father's name was also George, but am
not sure of his mother's name at this time) I know this might be a tough
one with all the Davis families around.
