Found them in 1851: HO107 Piece 1521 Folio 330 Page 37. But it just gives Norfolk for his birthplace. And he's a shoemaker. So by 1861 he's gone down in the world a bit. Wife sarah is born in Bury St. Edmunds i both censuses so it's the same family.
Thank for your interest. Yes, I have been on the pilot site and found the birth of John Mason. I am confused now as the one I found was born 1805 to Robert and Margaret Blois. How do I prove which is correct? Any ideas?
Lin many thanks for your suggestions. I have been searching all afternoon but with no success, have found siblings for John born 1805, no unusual names, Thomas, Charlotte, Harriot & Lydia, but so far no siblings for the John you found - will keep looking! Not had any luck either with marriages. Have not given up yet!
