Hi,



Can you give us some more info, ie. first names, approx. dates of birth, places of birth, parents' names (if known) and anything else which may help in searching census records.

Hi Julie, After checking the BMD's I see your William and Harriet were married in Newport in 1896, do you have this record? If not I can post it here for you. Looking at that info. I would say this is William and Harriet in 1901.

This looks like William in 1871

Julie, Ignore the 1871 census above I think it's wrong. I have a new lead...........will post when I've investigated further.

OK Julie..............I'm now on the right track.



This is William and Harriets marriage details



Marriages Jun 1896 (>99%)LAVENDER Harriet Rebecker Newport, M. 11a291 Lavender Harriett Rebecker Newport, M. 11a291 Powell William Prosser Newport, M. 11a291 Pritchard Sarah Jane Newport M 11a291 Wilson Malcolm Newport M 11a291



Notice William's middle name is Prosser. Living next door to William and Harriet in 1901 is a Thomas and Mary Powell, I think these are William's parents........census details are..........

Mary Elliott 88 aunt

Mary Powell 66 Oda Powell 28 Thomas Powell 65



I think ODA is a mistranscription, should read ADA.

Now, here's why I think Thomas and Mary are Williams parents' We have here a Thomas Powell and Mary PROSSER: hence William's middle name being Prosser.
