Title: 1841 Hicks
Post by: jacdee on Saturday 10 December 05 15:39 GMT (UK)

Hi
I'm hoping someone might be able to help me find this family in 1841. I've had lots of help from Tati in finding Ebenezer from 1851-1901, and would love to get him and his family in 1841!
This is what i have in 1851-

William Hicks 48 b.Taunton
Elizabeth Hicks 32 b.Taunton
Josiah Hicks 20 b.Taunton
Edith 17 b.Taunton
Eliezer (ebenezer) 12 b.Taunton
Betsey 11 b.Taunton
Mary Ann 3 b.Taunton
Edward 1 b.Taunton
They were living in Queen street, Taunton.

They all claim to be born in Taunton, but they weren't! Many were actually born in Kent, possibly Tunbridge Wells. (which is why i've posted on the kent page!)
I know that William has at least two other sons- William b.1826 and Alfred b.1828, also born in Kent. I believe Elizabeth to be William's second wife (due to the fact that she's only 12 years older than Josiah), so probably won't be on the 1841 census. This is one of the reasons i would love to find this family - to discover the identity of the first wife!

I don't know how easy/hard it is to search the 1841 census, so i apologise if it is too big a task. And i hope i've given enough information.

Thanks alot for any help,
Jacdee
