Caroline, how have you got back to John and Mary Ann? Is one of their children your direct descendant?

The address on the 1861 census I posted above is 5 Frederick Place, as Caroline says.

definitely discount henry Alfred...his father is a builder on the baptism image.

Caroline, do you mean 1921 census? That will not be available until 2021. If you mean 1821, the first full census was taken in 1841.

The 1871 census posted by Potty will be the correct family, I think, as here are John, Robert, and Richard in 1861, with a different wife/mother:

and Susan's death, in 1866, as Caroline said:

Estimated Birth Year: abt 1827
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1866
Age at Death: 39

But then the 1865 marriage can't be the right one, unless John and Susan had divorced (unlikely), or John committed bigamy.

Ancestry not bringing up the correct page but have paged through and William White has the correct ref, it Hackney, 1b 818.

They lived at 5 Frederick Place in Hackney. Got Mary Summerfield's name from Alfred's birth certificate. When does the 1821 census come out?

What a mess these marriage transcription are. The one I posted is from freebmd; Ancestry has the same plus a Maria Rosser but on the image her page No is 318. Am checking the images for William White married Dec 1865 - the freebmd image is not complete. Will try Ancestry.
