thank you frances. it is the right age, but i cant find a birth for him in the IGI. the nearest i can find is a john.j.mylchreest and his brother
humphrey mylchreest living in malew, but his age is given as 12. he and his brother are stepsons of richard gelling with his wife ann.
humphrey mylchreest was born in malew to
john mylchreest and ann cain on 21/7/1872.
is it possible for someone to be listed twice in the 1881 census.
