Title: 1841 or 1851 census Brixham
Post by: Dino25 on Monday 31 January 05 22:34 GMT (UK)

My great great grandparents are missing from the census at home (Whitstable, Kent) but I found some indication that they may have been connected with the Brixham Coastguard during this period.

Would it be possible for someone to check these census' for the following:

George Webb  b.1791 Whitstable
Frances Webb b.1791 Whitstable
Henry Webb b.1825 Whitstable

Thanks for your time.

I know its not what you wanted but could be connected
This is from the 1851 by the way.

Thanks very much Angela

I usually keep all info such as this - you probably know yourself but what seems to be irrelevent at the early stages turns out very useful later on.

There is certainly a lot of movement between the Kent and Devon ports judging by the census's I've looked at.

Thanks again.
