Trying to find John Smith in 1841 Somerset Census, in 1851 was living in Paulton with Emma Latcham as a border, he would be in his early teens I think in 1841. He married Emma in abt 1853

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, I have a copy of the marriage cert, however it lists the father as unknown and no mother listed.
Thank You both again
Mark
I do believe I have been looking in the wrong town in Somerset, I keep looking in Paulton, not Clutton, I must have misread some of my references.
Thanks Again
Probably not. Clutton is the registration district for Paulton
Gillian
Well then I need to learn how the English registration system works. Thank You again for all your help
