John and Tabitha Downes
« Reply #10 on: Thursday 20 February 25 22:58 GMT (UK) »
I am sorry to ask but I cannot find John and Tabetha Downes on the 1861 census. I have found on 1841, 1851 and 1871. They were living in Tower Hamlets area in all three census. Both born 1820s.
Thank you in advance

On both the 1851 & 1871 she is transcribed as Sabitha/Sabetha b Ratcliff Middlesex but I can't find her in 1861

Marriage 1841 shows her as Tabitha Ruscufka Smith

You previously asked for this in January 2024  :)
https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=879162.

The earlier post suggests that there was a church entry in 1862 giving the address as John Street, Limehouse.  The pages for this street are damaged, have you tried looking at them.
