Would you mind looking up when James Kensit was a shop holder here please? This is probably James Kensit, father or grandfather of Patsy Kensit ( I can't seem to find any other James Kensit's born around that time, and they loved in Haggeston). They are in my tree and I would like to find out some more information please. It would be good to find out what sort of shop he had.

In regards to the South America family:

William 1830 and Sophia Kensit 1829, brother and sister were born in South Africa.

Sophia married Harry Bolus and William married Harriet and had at least 4 children in South Africa.

I would like to find who their parents were.

Wow! What a wealth of information.

As far as I can tell, most of the Kensits are related. So the family who went to South Africa and this family are still related.  There are quite a few transcribed as Kensil or Kensitt.

I didn't realise this was the same family as Henry and Sarah as the dates and names (Harry) were different due to 1841 census. The info I got from Pedigree Resource file had Henry and Susanah as sisters (probably due to the 1881 census)

Info I have, mainly from family search.org (need to clarify if it is correct)
Henry and Sarah Glover 1767 - 1841 had 9 children:
Henry 1791 - 1882 who married Ann?
Mary Ann 1793 - 1837?
George 1793 - 1795
Thomas Glover 1795 - 1884 who married Janet Gregg 1797 - 1876
Sarah Glover 1797 - 1797
Mary Ann 1798 - 1832? married Richard Atkinson Coward
Joseph Edward 1801-1854 married Susanh Sophia
Rev George Robert 1805-1879 married Georgina Mary Mordaunt
Charles 1806-1812

Sarah Glover had a brother William who married Ann Kensit 1774, brother of Henry. They had 2 children Henry Kensit Glover, married to Mary (which I didn't know, thanks to you) (also had 2 children Henry Kensit Glover and William Kensit Glover) and Sarah Kensit Glover.

Henry Kensit also had a brother Joseph 1766 (who as far as I can tell, was my 4th great grandfather).


Thanks so much for this information. It fills a lot of holes.

Could someone please look up the census for the following family for the years 1841, 1851, 1861, 1871, 1891 and 1901 please.

Harry Kensit c1771
Sarah c1771
Joseph c1806
Susanna c 1806

1841 living at Holborn in "Findmypast' but not on "ancestry" website.

Would like to know if there is any more information on this family and if they are actually Kensits. There is a possibility they moved to US or South Africa.

thanks
