1841 Lookup please - Burgess of Brighton

[CarolynM]

Does anyone have access to the 1841 census of Brighton?

I would really appreciate a look-up of the family of Thomas and Mary Burgess, who at the time should have had children Mary (9) Thomas (4) and John (2).  Mary was born in Arundel around 1807 so would have been about 34, and I believe Thomas was a few years younger but I don't know where he was born.

Thanks,

Carolyn

As there is no index for the 1841 Census (and Brighton is/was pretty huge), do you have an address?  An Enumeration District would be useful.

Sorry - I hadn't realised.

In the 1851 Mary is living in Nelson Row, St Peters, Brighton, and the source reference is H0107/1645.  On the birth certificate of George, born in 1847, the address given is Little St James Street, Kemp Town, Brighthelmston.  I don't know Brighton at all so i don't know if this is helpful.

Thanks anyway,

Carolyn

Thanks to everyone.  That's brilliant, Carol, I'm sure that's my Burgesses.  I guess the other children must have died.
