Find Ancestors

Dear All,

I am trying to find any census info on Emma Sarah Mary Finch, 1st wife of John Thomas Hesse, my 2xGreat Grandfather. (They married in Hackney Parish Church, 1867).

Have found her bapt details in St. Georges in the East, (27 Apr, 1845), her parents being Henry John & Margaret Finch. John being described as a Carpenter.

Can anybody help me to find her and her family on 1841 - 1861 Census etc.. Any help is most welcome indeed!!!

Many thanks,

Marcus

Unfortunately some of the 1861 census for this area is missing, so it looks like they may have been in the area that the census didn't survive.
