Member Since: January 0001 Posts: 0 Send Message	My husband has a Samuel Needham in his family tree. We have an old photo and the date of birth 5th October 1888, death november 1857. At some point I must have found him because I have vol 8d, page 600, Oldham Lancashire. I have been looking on ancestry and can't find his birth. I can find him in the 1891 and 1901 censuses. I just can't figure out where I got the vol and page from (should have written it down). Help please Gloria
