Ficken Family Bethnal Green, Whitechapel, and Mile End.

[mysubee]

Hi
I am trying to trace my Mothers family back her name was Elizabeth Agnes Ficken,  and was hoping that there is family out there who have already been working on this and that we might be able to trade information. I have traced her family back as far as her Great Grandfather John Ficken 1821/23 and have found census records but I am unclear about his children, as the names keep changing, and I am having problems tracing them through the records.
Thanks

Hi

Looking at the 1851 census - there are 3 John Ficken's in that age range

Could you post full 1851 details of your John Ficken so we can see if we can sort something out for you

Thanks
I will start checking your information, not sure if they are the right ones as the family did not seem to move far from where they were born if later generations are anything to go by.
