Title: 1861 census lookup please
Post by: Granny Annie on Sunday 30 April 06 14:43 BST (UK)

Looking for the family of John Lewis and wife Martha (nee Burnhill ) on the 1861 census.

Have found the family on the 1851 census living at 41, Vine St, Westminster
John Lewis was a Collar Maker then. He was born Carnarvon in 1816.
They had three children Elizabeth, LLewellyn and John Evan.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Granny Annie,
As John Lewis is such a common name and you have found them on the 1851 it would be helpful to know wife's year of birth and place and also the dates and places of the children.
More chance of them being found.
Although you say John was born in Carnarvon in 1816, the next census may not have these same details.
Regards,
Brenda

Hi,
Heres what I have also.
Elizabeth was born 1843 Woolwich.
Llewellyn born 1847 Woolwich.

I am looking for there other son Thomas Lewis (my line ) I have his birth cert, so I have the correct parents.
Thomas was born 21st Dec 1852 Westminster.
The family then lived at 41, Vine St Westminster.
He went on to be a Police Constable.

Hope this helps
Thanks once again.

So the family were in Woolwich up until John was born in 1848 and yet they were in Westminster in the 1851 census. Where your Thomas was born in 1852
They must have returned to Woolwich for the birth of Mary in 1856 (if the 1871 is giving Mary's birth place correctly)
So maybe they are more likely to be in Woolwich in 1861 ???
My lot are as hard to find !!!
