Member Since: April 2004 Posts: 4 Send Message	Hi I have found my Great Great Grandad in the 1881 Census - John Thomas Mannell aged 42. He Lived at 63 Camilla Rd Bermondsey London. He was married to Louisa and had several children. I don't suppose anyone could help me with his Date of Birth and his parents. I am really stuck. I have found him in the 1881 census, but do not know how to research his DOB. Any suggestions. Is there any site or person that can help. I have searched Genes reunited Birth records for 1838 - 1841 and can not find him. Regards Jo
