Title: 1891 263 Portobello Road Kevis family Completed
Post by: Brian2009 on Saturday 03 September 11 21:09 BST (UK)

Hi
I can not find James Henry Kevis, (b 1849) or his wife, Jane Gay Kevis  (b 1849) on the 1891 census.  They appear on the 1881 and 1901 census living in the Portobello Road, with their children.  I have looked on FindMyPast using street address and find that there are a number of houses missing.  Is this correct, or just me??!

Thank
Brian

Thank you Jennifer, you have confirmed my thoughts.

Carole, its a strange world, I only found out about Frederick yesterday morning! (Cross checking family numbers against 1911.)

Thank you both

Hi


The census street index for 1891 confirms there is a missing Enumeration District return

Hi. I am researching this Kevis family.
James's brother Walter was also a tobacconist from 1877, in Petworth, but more notably he was photographer.
I would be interested in any further information on the family.
What is your link to the family?

Hi aancestorsearch, I will message you some details.  A number of Walter photos are held in the Sussex archives, copies of which I have.     James Henry Taylor Kevis was my wife's second great grandfather/

Brian
I am pleased to say that I have received your reply, for which many thanks.
I look forward to hearing further.
My interest is because I have recently acquired the building in Petworth that Walter Kevis had as his studio and tobacconists. I am intrigued as to how Walter had the capital to buy the building and build the studio.
