Find Ancestors

I have searched the census in an effort to locate William Jeffrey b. 1830 Biddenden and wife Elizabeth b. 1833 Benenden but cannot locate them. In 1901 William was 73 so would be abt 83 in 1911 and Elizabeth was 67 in 1901 so would be abt 77. William died 1916 and Elizabeth 1918 so presumably they are somewhere !! Could someone with 'eagle eyes' take a look please. Thanks.

Hello Margaret, do you have any addresses from their death certificates?

Brilliant MarieCeleste and safc - why didn't I think of that spelling. Many many thanks.

Margaret, the form was completed by an E W Austen for W "Jeffery" so that person may have inadvertently mis-spelled it.

When I'm searching for my Jeffrey's I usually just search using Jeff* to pick up all of the variants (Jeffery(s), Jeffrie(s), Jefferie, etc etc)
