Peter, I did look when I saw your thread earlier but couldn't see anything that matched. Do you know when they moved to London after the birth of their son? If he was born in Middlesex in 1849 they might still be there? Sarah

Hello Sarah, I wonder if you might find Philip Fortin born c1810 in India. I don't know exactly when he moved to London or his address then. Many thanks, Christine

Hi Sarah Thanks for the offer of look-ups. Could you have a look for Silas Clark, born about 1832, possibly in Mill Hill (not sure if this counts as London/Middlesex or wherever!). In 1861 he was in Parsons Road, Hendon. Thanks Jane

Hi, Wondered if you could look for a Stephen Peet - married to Phoebe. He was born in 1819 and would have had five children in 1851: William, Mary, Elizabeth, Stephen, Walter Charles. Most probably lived in St Pancras area as this is where the last two children were born. Many thanks Julie
