Please if anyone has the time, could you look on Ancestry. 1891 census. George Dickinson b. 1856 Bramley, Leeds, Yorkshire. I just cannot make out the name of his wife. He also appears on 1901 and I can.t read it on there either. He was a Boot Manufacturer. Sally

Hi Lesley - thank you for that. Yes on the 1901 census I decided from looking at other names that the first letter could be T or I. Will see if I have any luck with that Sally
