41/51/61 Lookup-LEWES-George Medhurst

[dereklea]

Hi All
Can anyone help with lookups for George Medhurst and his wife Ann in Lewes in 1841, 51 and 61. Only other info we have is 6 children all baptised on 14/6/1835 at St Anne's. George Warren b. 27/4/1821, Naomi b. 29/8/1825, Mary Ann b. 8/11/1827, Charlotte b. 12/3/1830, Robert Clark b. 11/11/1832 and Emma b. 18/9/1832.
Gerorge's occupation was Tunbridge Ware Turner.

Thanks
Del

1851 index.    The only George Medhurst in Lewes is aged 9 with Mark 8, Samuel 52 b Beddingham Millwright master, wife Phil 48 b Horsham, william 22.   There is a William Medhurst, b Beddingham age 53 on the next folio.   All in the High St.
Does not sound the right lot at all.
There are some in Beddingham but again the only George is  age 19, a thatcher b Chalvington.
