For 6 years I have searched for my Gt. Grandfather Daniel Brewerton 1840 born in Hawarden Flintshire on the 1871 & 1891 censuses.
Going by a death cert. where he was the informant, I did an address search on FMP on the 1891 and there he was.
The page is missing on ancestry.
I decided to re hunt for him on FMP and searching for all the details gave nothing. I then searched for everyone born in 1841 plus and minus 2 and there he was again.
As Daniel Brewerton but not born Hawarden.
When I viewed the image it was the worst that I have seen.
By magnifying to 150 I managed to make out that he was living with his mother and a servant called Mary Crow.
Great news re Mary Crow because on the 1891/1901/1911 Daniel has 2 sons.
On the 1881, years ago, I had found who appeared to be the 2 sons living with a Mary Crow and she was my best guess.
So a hugh brick wall broken!!
I checked on ancestry 1871 with the reference number and they have him as William Norton 1824.
No wonder I could not find him
