Title: 1841 CENSUS FOR BILSINGTON
Post by: jacqui01 on Thursday 14 April 05 21:27 BST (UK)
Hi

Does anyone have an 1841 census that covers Bilsington in Kent.

I am looking for the family of Clark Longhurst living in Bilsington at that time.

Thanks

Jacqui

Hi Carol

Thanks for that. It's the info I was looking for. Clar Longhurst was my gggf. I have managed to trace most the male descendents and thought there must have been some sisters.This has given me something to work on. Thanks again.

I don't suppose you have the 1851 census for same place,same family, do you?

Jacqui
