1851 Census Lookup - SWINNOCK

[Tati]

I suppose Mr Agnett is a lodger or a boarder. 

1861 says East Malling for Susannah (children Charlott, Fanny and Celia still at home), 1871 says Loose again (no children at home). 

Edit: I hope this is not their marriage 
GEORGE BROWN - SUSANNA SMITH
Marriage 14 OCT 1827   East Barming, Kent
(I hasten to add that I don't know where East Barming is)

There is a Susannah Smith birth 1808 in Loose on the IGI but also one in East Malling ...

East Mailling, East Barming and Loose all appear to all be just outside of Maidstone!

I only started my family history about 2 week ago, not sure I'm ready to venture into Smith teritory!

Errr ... just pick up another line for now 

[csmalley]

I thought my Swinnock line might be the easiest to follow as there were only a few families around, but can't find anything on Joseph.

There appears to be a Daniel Swinnock on the 41 and 51 census', b. Abt 1777 - i guess i shouldn't assume this is Joseph's dad, even though its his son Edwards middle name! Any pointers? I'm new at all this! 

(Apologies again, i know i'm asking lots of questions!)

I think you'd really need to find his birth. It's not on the IGI at www.familysearch.org

Might be worth having a look at the ressources for Kent posted by Casalguidi here http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,87443.0.html

The IGI has recently been updated a great deal for Kent and now includes a baptism for a Joseph SWINNOCK in 1809 Maidstone - parents Daniel and Amelia.

Thanks Casalguidi! Its so lovely of you to update my thread after so many months  

I've since traced that line back another couple of generations, and now having more headaches! You'd think it'd be easier with such an obscure name!

Thanks again,

Clare
