1851/61 census lookup Kearns in Alton
« on: Tuesday 18 January 05 22:20 GMT (UK) »
Hi there,
I am trying to find any of the Kearns family in Alton, Cheadle for this time. In particular I am trying to find out who the family were of Eliza B: Cheadle 1843. Any help would be appreciated..... ???
Does anyone else have one family who are just so inconsistent, difficult...........and hard to find? I shall never again complain about my ag labs on the other side that stayed in one village!
Cheers C  :) :) :)

Hi cfmshrops
don't know if this is of any relevance, but this Thomas Kearns is listed in Whites History of Staffs 1851 (page 769) in the Alton directory:

'Kearns Thos plumber, painter &c'
