  • A quick World Wide look up please

    I do not have World Wide Ancestry.

    I have a hint for Shepherd Coulson born 1866 Lincolnshire.

    The hint is for Washington State and Territorial Censuses 1857 to 1892.

    Could someone please tell me what it says.

    Thanks

        Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

        I just found him on family search where he has enlisted in the Army August 27 1888 and I think it says he deserted in September 1889.

        So I wonder if the census is him.

        But it is a very distinctive name.

              The inference being that he was locked up for desertion.
