I've been trying to get beyond John Thomas Reed (Read) 1841 St Margarets Leicester for the last three years now and I've come to the conclusion that either he was somewhere else on the previous censuses or I found him and dismissed it.
There are 3 John Read's and 1 John Thomas Read born Leicester between 1839 and 1842 and I'm tempted to send for the latter's cert. He was married in India but I'm blowed if I can find the page I printed off nor can I remember where I found the evidence.
The daft thing is that I can find him and his family together on the 1881 with his pregnant wife, a dressmaker living at a girls' school. That makes sense as the distance between the two would've been a couple of miles and with all those "gels" and teachers she probably had a lot of work to do!
I'm answering my own question here aren't I, send off for the possible cert
