I am looking for a family. William b1830 and Elizabeth b1828 SPAIN both born in Folkestone. They had moved to Deptford by 1856. I have found the family on all other census returns. Children Elizabeth b1849, Maria b1850, Susannah b1852, William b1853, Sarah b1856, Thomas b1858, Clara b1860 and Henry b1864. I have only just realised that I have not found them on this census. I have checked Ancestry but cannot find them anywhere. Hope you can help. Thanks Chris

Parts of 1861 are not available...there is a thread on Tips with the full details......use 'ages' as a search word Reg

Jo Thank you so much for trying. I really do appreciate it. A lady named Wendy has been looking as well but she was not able to find this family either. Thanks again Chris Just an afterthought Sarah b1856 was born in Rotherhithe, Surrey.

in 1871 they are living at 51 Napier St, Deptford. In 1861 the census only goes upto No. 3 Napier St. Ken
