Hi Chris

Any chance of finding the following:

RICHARD BREEDS birth c1800 Hastings  

and

JOHN BREEDS birth c1769

I know Breeds is extremely poplar, but I'd love to know when they were baptised.  The dates were given on the 'tree' I acquired.

Also children of Richard & Harriett BREEDS:
Rachel 1850, Richard 1852, John 24/12/1853, Sarah (i think baptised 30/3/1858, Caroline Mary (i think baptised 15/6/1860, Alfred 1877.

What sort of information would the 1821/31 census give - just head of household?

[Chris in 1066Land]

Hi Twink

There are over 100 Breed & Breeds baptisms, but only 2 from your list:

30.11.1849, Rachel Harriet, dau of Richard James & Harriet – St Clements.
15.06.1860, Caroline Mary, dau of Richard & Hariet – All Saints.

The 1821 & 1831 Census give:
1821 - Name, Male / Female, Occupation, Families – Street Address, but info varies from place to place.
1831 – Name, Occupation, Age, Male, Female, Children

Thanks Chris

Re: 1821/31 Census - Hastings

On 1831:

Richard & Bendicta BREEDS (richard supposingly b. 1800 but on 1841 census age was given as 49 and on 1851 census was given as 61, Benedicta should be 30)

[Chris in 1066Land]

Hi Twink

On the 1841 census, Richard and Benedicta were in All Saints Parish

I only have the
1821 & 1831 for St Mary in the Castle and
1831 for St Clements.

I do not believe the 1831 for All Saints has survived.

Sorry

Hi Chris

Would your 1841 & 1861 Census cover Sedlescombe and Beckley ?
If so could I ask for a look up on James Playford  b 1813 Sedlescombe ( Wife Ann Ballard b 1814 westfield) 8  Children born from 1839 - 1860.

1841 only - James parents William Playford of Beckley b 1782 d 1856 wife Elizabeth nee Ridley of Peamarsh b 1786 d 1856. It would be nice to put some flesh on these names.

Thank you so very much for your time : )

Much happiness
Debi

Hi Daisy Dee

As yet I do not have any 1861 census for Sussex - did you mean 1851?

Here is the 1841 entry for your Playfords at Sedlescombe

HO107/1109/12 – Folio 1-13; Swalesgreen, Sedlescombe, Sussex
PLAYFORD James, 27, Ag Lab, born in Sussex
                      Ann, 25, Sussex
                      Robert, 3, Sussex
                      Henry, 8months, Sussex

The 1841 for Beckley has not yet been transcribed and published on cd - so unable to look on there for you.

Hi Chris

Thank you so very much .

I had hoped there was a 1861 as you very kindly looked up this couple for me some months ago on your 1851 census.

This 1841 look up has given me another child to the couple : ))

Truly grateful of your time

Much happiness
