Title: 1851 Census - Lewisham? - FRENCH
Post by: Ossie on Friday 03 September 04 18:14 BST (UK)

I have a John FRENCH, wife Mary Ann, with daughter Emma born c1848 in Charlton, Kent. Possible older sister Letitia. Is there someone who could do a lookup for me, please? Emma was married to George Smith HARRIS in Greenwich in 1870.

Many thanks

Ossie

Hi Ozzie

No sign of your FRENCH family in the Lewisham 1851 census index.

Good luck with your search.
