Kent Census look up 41,51,61

[KA]

Looking for the Tampsett's (or Tamsett, or even Tompsett).  Living Cranbrook, Kent.  Very possibly in Mill Lane.

Head will be William and Mary.  Both born Cranbook.

Any help would be gratefully received.

Kate,

Thanks for that.  I can't place them at the moment, so don't think they are mine.  However, you never know!

Are there any more Tampsetts?

Regards

HI,

With an unusual name like that, I expect they ae somewhere down the line.

RG9 507 Folio 36 Tan Yard
James Sampsett head mar 44 General Dealer Kent Biddenden
Harriet do wife do 34 do do
Mark do son 14 Sussex Tichux
Amelia Gilbert Neice 7 scholar Kent Cranbrook
Thomas Jenner boarder un 21 Agricultural Labourer do do

These ones?
Kate

Hi Kated,

I agree.  Tampsett is one of those names you feel sure you should be able to find - and then you find it has so many spelling interpretations it becomes as hard to pin down as 'smith' or 'brown'.  Sampsett is a variation I hadn't thought of - but I bet it's meant to be Tampsett.

Unfortunately not mine.  Although I am heartened by a birth in Cranbrook. 

Kind regards

KA

Sorry,

My typo. It is Tampsett

Further on we have Folio 41 Tippings CLose
Edward Tamsett Ior it may be Tumnell) head mar 34 Agricultural Labourer Kent Cranbrook
Sarah do wife do 33 do do
Charles do son 8 scholar do do

Any closer?
Kate

Hi Kated,

You are good to keep trying for me.  No, none of the names seem any closer.  But I am keeping track of all the ones you send me - with a name like Tampsett, they have got to be related somewhere.

OK

Charles Tampsett head mar 34 Ag Lab Kent Cranbrook
Frances do wife mar 33 do Brenchley
Alfred do won 10 Ag Lab Do Cranbrook

YES.  YES!  YES! They feature.  I have a Charles Tampsett b. Cranbrook married to a Frances Humphrey b. Brenchley.

I think Charles is son to William and Mary, but can't prove it. They should have a son, William, at some point.

I've just thought.  I've never asked you which census year you are looking in.

Regards
