Title: Simmons 1861 Census.
Post by: LAS1015 on Saturday 28 April 12 15:08 BST (UK)

Hello Folks,

I've been driven totally mad in my search of the 1861 census on ancestry.  I'm looking for the following family:

Stephen SIMMONS born 1829 Croydon
Ellen SIMMONS born c. 1834 Essex
Thomas SIMMONS born 1859 South Norwood.

I literally cannot find them anywhere  ??? Would really appreciate any help/advice.

Very many thanks,

Lesley

Thanks Stan,
 
Thank you for the link ... I did try clicking on the link ... no luck with that either.  Seriously considering pitching my laptop out of the window!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Appreciate you taking time to reply.

Many thanks,

Lesley.

Many thanks for this.  No mention of Croydon, though (but I'll look again) - slowly going cross-eyed!

I've had a look, but no success yet.

Sometimes we just have to accept that the people we're searching for managed to elude the census  ::)
