Kent / Re: MORECRAFT Herne Bay 1830s

Morecraft & variants wasn't a common name in Kent at that time.
There is a George Morecroft, an ostler, living with his wife Elizabeth in St Lawrence, Thanet (Ramsgate) in 1851.
An Ancestry tree has this George being born to William & Susanah in Cubley, Derbyshire He had a brother, Thomas, baptised 2 Mar 1801 but no further details for him.

Worth investigating

You are correct, the 1841 census for Whitstable is missing.

Thanks for the reply.
I contacted Ancestry who managed to sort things out.
There was no 'cancel membership' option because I had already cancelled it! Before posting I had checked through my emails but there was no confirmation of the cancellation so assumed it still needed to be done.

Our church is a local village church, struggling, almost 1000 years old and needs repairs, if the church closes through lack of support there will be outrage, but it can't be down to the small congregation, just not possible.

Does your church a "Friends' Scheme"?
https://www.churchofengland.org/sites/default/files/2023-08/friends-scheme-for-a-parish-church-2019-edit-1_0.pdf
It's a way to gather support from the community to support what is probably the oldest building in the locality. You don't have to be religious to appreciate a church's historical importance.

I'm so pleased that you have now have some answers. It shows that you should never give up.
