Bartlett Lookup 1841 & 1851 Penshurst & Chiddingstone Kent

[axelaust]

Hi everyone

Looking for help with the name Bartlett in Penshurst and Chiddingstone, Kent in the 1841 or 1851 census

The Bartletts in Penshurst  that I have are

Elizabeth  1802 
Richard     1805
Robert      1807
Mary         1808
Thomas    1812
Henry       1813
Reuben    1816 
Martha     1818
George    1821

All are the children of Richard and Anne BARTLETT

I realise that the daughters could be married but if I can find the sons it will help heaps.

Hoping someone might take pity on me

And from the 1841 census:
ref Ho107 481-5 folio 23: Sliderbridge, Chiddingstone
Reuben Bartlett age 24 ag lab
Martha do age 26
Hannah do age 3
Martha do age 1
Martha Bartlett age 22
all born in county
Folio 38, ?? Lane, Chiddingstone
George Bartlett age 20 ag lag
Mary do age 5 (no idea who she belongs to !!)
both born in county

The only Bartlett found on either census for Penshurst was Hannah, who I assume was Reubens daughter:
ref HO107 1613c folio 724: Salmons Farm Penshurst (1851)
Hannah Bartlett serv un age 13 house servant born Chiddingstone
in the employ of John and Mary Saxby
It would appear that the younger Bartletts all stayed put, but the older ones had already left the area before 1841. Although the quality of both census returns is questionable, I'm pretty certain that I would have spotted more of them, had they been there.
Hope this helps with the research,
xx Carol.

Thank you Carol for your help

Gees Why do they make things so hard  or should I say how dare they all leave before one gets a handle on where they went first.

I just knew this lot was not going to make life easy LOL

Once again ..........thank you very much.

Hi Axelaust,
Here is the Jenner family on the 1841 census:
ref HO107 481-05 folio 38: Chiddingstone
Benjamin Jenner age 32 ag lab
Mary do age 32
Benjamin do age 11
William do age 6
George do age 4

(There are quite a lot of Jenner families living in Chiddingstone, so must be a fairly local name)

Thank you Carol .......very prompt

I felt there had to be more children after Ben Jnr with a 10 year gap, and there was two more!

Kind regards

Any connection to David Jenner born abt 1844 in Chiddingstone? He married Harriet Bridger in 1876. She was my second great grandaunt.
