Help! Brick Wall
« on: Thursday 06 August 09 19:12 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I'm having awful difficulty tracing 2 of my ancestors!
George Harvey according to census' was born in 1806 in New Romney, Kent as was his brother Henry Harvey in 1808...however there is no record of this?! where do i go from here.

To make George even more of a man of mystery he dissappears after the 1851 census presumably he dies between 1851 & 1861 as his wife Jane is listed as being a widow in the 1861 Littlehampton Census. However I have been all throught he burials for littlehampton and he is not there  ??? ???

In the cenus returns he is living in Littlehampton, West Sussex and is a Master Mariner. Could anyone suggest where I go from here in finding births & deaths?

Thanks

Kate

Hi Kate

You keep posting new requests for this same info which can result in people spending time duplicating info on the different posts

I replied earlier today on the following link  but you have posted yet another new message before I have had time to reply to your query re: deaths at sea

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,396701.msg2676835.html#msg2676835

If you Google - deaths at sea in the 1850's it will show these websites
