Hi Tracey The only Tutty's listed are John TUTTY age 26 37 b and Etherild age 23. They are registered under Wallington which is a small hamlet of Beddington. Shirley

Hi shirley, please could you look the Tutty surname up for me, i have a john tutty he was born dec qtr of 1851, in beddington, any info on any tutty's there would be fantastic! Thanks Tracey x

Thank you Shirley, With the HO number you gave me, I can now try to contact the East Surrey FHS. I know that most FHS will give you copies at a nominal cost if you have a reference. Thanks to you I now have that! Many thanks again. Wendy

Wendy I bought the census index from the East Surrey Family History Society. (HO-107-1602) All it lists are the names, ages and the last column is the folio number. This is the number stamped on the top right-hand corner of every other page. The 'a'indicates that the page has been stamped The 'b' indicates the following unstamped page. We need to find someone that has the census and by giving them the folio number it will be easier to find. I would love to see the original census. Shirley

Thank you Shirley, that is definitely my family! Can you tell me what the identification number means? I would like to get a copy of the image. Do you know who I would contact for that? Thanks again---I now know the age of John and Jane. Wendy

Wendy I think this is yours as they are the only Mersh in the index. John MERSH age 41 120a Jane age46 John age 11 also William MERSH age 28 125b Susannah age 24 Harriot MERSH age 2 137 a Shirley

Thank you for the offer. Can you find a John Benjamin MERSH [not Marsh] b.c.1839 in Mitcham, s/o John and Jane. Father John was a millwright. Wendy

Shirley, Hope you don't mind, but I have another couple of families who should be in Mitcham around 1851, so i thought i'd try my luck again and see if they are in the index!! They are Richard and Sarah Arthur, aged in their 40's with several children. Also John and Harriett Ewins, also in their 40's, children unknown. Any info much appreciated. Thanks again, Pippa

Pippa Glad to help. I only got it today and I have found my husbands 3 x grandfather had 4 more children than I realised. Its name indexed so if you need any other people from the area let me know. Good luck Shirley

Hi Shirley, Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Amazingly, they are all mine - i had resigned myself to not finding most of them, but now i can look at the 1851 images and hopefully knock down some brickwalls. Much appreciated :-)) Pippa
