Find Ancestors

I have two small booklets, detailing the families living in Hailsham, East sussex, on two very early census returns. A census was taken on 28th May 1821 & 30th May 1831. The names are indexed in the back, so it is very easy for me to look up anyone in particular. Please note that on the 1821, it lists: Name, number of males & females, occupation & number of families in the one abode. 1831: Name, occupation, Age (Head),number of males, females & children in the abode. This must be useful to some of you out there ? Feel free to ask. Regards, Debbie O'

Oh wow Debs, sorry to bother you but do you have any Cheal(e), Bonifaces or Verralls there please? (Dont worry if its too much of a blanket question). Many thanks.

id love a look up for any packhams or deacons , or monk,.if you get the chance, . if heather positive thinker reads this, i have bonniface and verrals in my side, maybe a link?

They had a daughter Elizabeth Ann or Sarah Elizabeth who was born in 1864(abt July) and any info' would be much appreciated. Francis' father was James Phipps, would you have any info on him\or his wife from the 1821 census? Regards,Michael

Deborah, Thank you for your kind offer. I am looking for the names George Coote Or Coot and Mary Wade or Wadey. Elizabeth

Theresa in Sussex... You're welcome, seems selfish not to share ! Regards, Debbie O' x

Maria... Hi, sorry neither of those surnames are present in the two census returns. Closest ( if you can call it that ) are: GOWER, GOSDEN or KING families ? Probably of no use though ? Regards, Debbie O'
