sussex /Kent Hawkers
« on: Monday 04 October 10 09:27 BST (UK) »
Hi  I hope someone can help me with this

First query
my ggggrandfather was Richard Willett born 1814 Petworth Sussex his wife Louisa was born 1815 Crayford Kent. Their daughter Elizabeth born 1839 married a Deacon I think it may have been either a William or a Thomas but I just can't make the connection. The only census for Elizabeth is 1881 as head of household her parents are now living with her in Brighton Sussex.

The only death I could find on FreeBMD was Mar 1872

DEAKEN  William  32  I. Wight  2b 359

The age is slightly wrong though :-\

Can't see them on any other census nor a marriage for Elizabeth

But I know from previous experience from searching for Hawkers they were quite often on the road when census time came around and may have been in temporary lodgings :-\  so may have been missed

You are welcome. 

I am attaching an image that you may find interesting as not all people were named on each census,  and when I mentioned about the temporary accomodation I meant something like this........ where they just count numbers and ages ::)
