Calvin72 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 According to the list at the beginning of the thread the dates from the second half of the 19th century still missing are 1856, 1859, 1862, 1863, 1866, 1869 and 1873. They are probably 'gettable' given the fashion for dating buildings etc at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardB Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I stuck to 1828-29; the 1841 census lists 119 people on Wicker Lane but we are no further forward for that information. Not one I think we will be able to solve. July 11, 1857.jpg July 11, 1857 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
