I am trying to find out about Francis Kear born 1850 in Oldcroft, Gloucestershire. His parents were William Kear 1817 and Eliza Hatton 1816. I know he married Elizabeth James. I am interested in his life before that, particularly in the years 1874/75. Any help much appreciated.

There is a Frank Kear born similar timeframe and I suspect is confused in a few online trees ( I think he is related to Israel Kear not Thomas Kear)

Thank you. The one I am looking at mother was called Hatton. It is the years between 1871-1875 that I am stuck on. I could not find a census record with him on it. There is a lot of confusion on family trees, especially mine as a lot of my James family intermarried with Kears and Parrys. I have a strong 204Cm DNA match with this line which I am unable to verify.

Francis is out there somewhere
Located his older brother William in Sidney Street, Shelton, Stoke upon Trent, I suspect Francis could be "nearby"
