Default William Shirley b1840 Coventry

Have looked for him in 1841 census on ancestry but couldn't find him. However found him on findmypast but don't have a sub.

Can anyone please help me find him on ancestry. Thanks

What info do you have from the fmp results as I can't find him on there! The best fit I have is born 1838 and living in Foleshill

Oops very sorry Merry thought I'd found him in 1941 census but just looked and it was his birth I found not the census.

He isn't the one in foleshill, Coventry

My William's parents are William Shiley and Elizabeth Reader who married in 1839 in Warwickshire Coventry?

Thank you both so much would never have found them. A half sis from Oz is here and it's her family and we've spent ages getting nowhere fast
