Ah well, back to the drawing board
The census image is so poor I thought maybe it should be SEARS

Looking at the image for the 1851, that William is in a different household to the Mears family. Occupation: silk weaver.

The witnesses n the 1818 marriage were Robt Keyte and George Limming.

On the 1851 Census there is a William CATE born abt 1825 Mile End living in Greenwich with a MEARS family
Should CATE be KEYTE and the Mears are his maternal cousins ?

Marriage from FamilySearch:
William Keyte to Mary SEARS St Leonards Shoreditch 3 Feb 1818

Death: Mary Keyte 1835 aged 41
Burial 1 Nov 1835
Pentonville St James
Borough of Islington

No ignore that one he middle name is Holmes

So back to the drawing board

I presume you have investigated the William H Keyte on 1851 and 1861 census with wife Eleanor

not at the moment finding the father on 1851 or 1861

Hello everybody. Is anyone able to locate any records for me with regards to a William H Keyte (The H I believe to be Harrison). Born 1824 / 26. The only record I have been able to find is a 1841 census which tells me at the time he was 15 and living at 52 Rawstorne Street, Clerkenwell, Finsbury.

Many thanks

George
