Good find, Bones - that explains why I couldn't find him with the family I posted in 1861 (further above on page 1)

Ellie, when I posted the 1861 census for the family together in Dover, I put underneath that I couldn't find all of the children. Thomas b 1826 and Elizabeth had a son called Thomas born c1856 (as per Andrew's opening post). The death that Bones (and yourself) has posted appears to be that child - explains why I couldn't find him.

You guys are absolutely amazing - I'm overwhelmed! Where are you finding this stuff? You've got more data in the last couple of hours than I've gleaned from numerous pay-sites over years!

I can finally put Thomas 1856 to bed (so to speak). I don't suppose that the same source has thrown anything up on his sister, Sarah Jane Noel (1858, Meerut)?

So, Charles 1861 survived childhood and went on to a lengthy army career too! That's another line of enquiry I'll attack soon!

I now also know that Thomas 1827's father's name was Thomas too, not Jean/John (who was another generation back). More work there also! Maybe I'll give you another go on that one - how are you on Channel Island / French records? ;¬)

I don't know how to thank you enough - you're stars!

Best wishes, Andrew. :-D

I live in Berkshire and there are quite a lot of people with that surname round my area!

You're very welcome Andrew! Most of us use other sites (which we're not supposed to name!!)

One that is free to all is FamilySearch: http://www.familysearch.org
That's where the Indian records may have come from.

I can't see anything for Sarah - but we'll keep looking.

There are a couple of people who can advise on Channel Islands, just add it all to this thread (if it is actually a different family then you are OK to start a new thread).

Sadly 'Familysearch' threw up absolutely nothing for me. I've already got a copy of the GRO Regimental Birth Indicies 1761 - 1924 from FMP, which is where I originally learned of Thomas 1856 / Sarah Jane 1858 & Charles 1861's existence. Given that Charles was also in the 60th Regt, and there are no birth records for the 7th, do you think it is safe to assume that he remained childless (or is the document's content questionable)?

Many, many thanks once again for all your efforts!

Best wishes, Andrew.

Sarah J Noel is not with her Mother in 1861 Census
