Census details

Thank you all for taking the time to look into this for me.

The 1851 census Charles Cook in Gravel Street Leicester is the correct one. I am trying to find full details of his parents and grandparents.

You have given some other leads I can look into, many thanks again

Malcolm

if that is Charles born illegitimate you wont know who he's father and grandfather were
