Hi Jeanette, It could possibly be him on the 1851 I was hoping he would be with his parents as I'm not 100% sure of who they were.I haven't found him on the 1861 census either I presumed that he was away at sea. Thanks for looking Sandra

Sandra - you have Colchester Essex/Little Clapham, Essex. I think this should read Little Clacton as I live in this area. Hope this helps. Lesley

If you click on UK CENSUS COLLECTIONS,then 1851- scroll down and it will give you a list of known problems. Might solve some of your problems - on the other hand !!!!!! Elaine

Does any one know whether it is complete on Ancestry.I have a few rellies that I just can't find I have tried all sorts of different searches but they still haven't popped up.I was really hoping that the 1851 would answer some of my questions,I'll have to pull my hair out some more!!!. Thanks Sandra
