Find Ancestors

I am looking for Stephen Court B1855 Folkestone, with parents Stephen Brandford and Mary Court 1861/1871. Think I have found him in 1881 Stephen J married to a Eliza Mary Conquest. Says he was Collector of Rates, Munic so as my Stephen had Clerk on his in 1871 I thought just maybe this might be the one. I don't know what Stephen's middle name was as I couldn't find his birth but I have all of his siblings.
Any help on this would be appreciated and a 1891/1901 Census if possible please.

No luck with Henry Court/Ann Minter.

Thank you, they are coming thick and fast I can't keep up with you. It looks like Thomas must have died then.
Julia

Well you have done very well for me, I really appreciate it.
There was a John but I am not going there as there are too many of them. Also a Stephen born 1800 but I am going to leave that alone too.
One thing do you think you could possibly look for a 1901 Census for a Court family.
I have Richard Marsh Court family right through to 1891 with all of his children living with him even though they are aged from 22 -31. Now if possible I would like to know where they are in 1901. There names are Catherine Court B1858 - Anne B1860 - William John B1864 - Owen A B1866 and Florence Mary B1868. All born Folkestone. If you can't find them it doesn't matter.

Hi, could you tell me what Owen means next to Ann Court, is she married to him or does that mean her married name.

Julia

I have just checked Family Search and come up with Henry and Ann Minter. It gave their family which was a great help, there was Henry B1821-John B1823-Mary Ann B1825 and Leon Minter B1827. So it looks as if I am getting the whole Court family, all I have to do is now put them together.

Julia

Owen in brackets next to Ann's name means that he was wrongly transcribed.

The square brackets are my comments.
