I have Charles Easton born Dec 1816 in Reigate, Surrey. I know his father was John Easton and mother was Mary (surname unknown).
Is there any way I can find out if Charles had any siblings?

I would appreciate any help.

Thank you.

Mac,

Thank you very much for the info, I'll take a look on there.

1841 census - John is a builder according to the original.

EASTON, John 1781 60 M Reigate Surrey VIEW VIEW
Household EASTON, Marianne 1811 30 F Reigate Surrey VIEW VIEW
Household EASTON, Elizabeth 1816 25 F Reigate Surrey VIEW VIEW
Household EASTON, John 1816 25 M Reigate

No sign of Mary or son Charles, don't forget to allow 5 years difference on ages the 1841 census rounded down.

Wow Mac, thank you so much.

You're welcome!

Looks like John is another brother, as I think Charles got married 1840 to Sarah Greenacres at Marylebone. Marianne, would, I think be, the Mary Ann christening already found.

Mac, was John and Elizabeth twins?

Mac, Charles marriage details are correct, thank you very much.

I doubt it, they would probably have both been christened at the same time, and don't forget Charles was born 1816.

Elizabeth was christened 1810, I would think John would have been born between her and Charles, but can't swear to this, he may be younger than Charles.

To get a better idea of ages it helps finding them on the 1851 census. Charles is on, but haven't looked for the others - will have a look & let you know if I find anything.

Thank you so much again.

Elizabeth on 1851 census, looks to be in same house as Charles, together with another brother!

Elizabeth Easton
Age 38
Estimated Year of Birth 1813
Relationship to Head of Household Sister
Occupation Proprietor Of Houses
Address Bell Street
District Reigate, Reigate
Parish Reigate
Administrative County Surrey
Birth Place Reigate
Birth County Surrey

Other household:
George (head) 31 builder born Reigate (Their brother)
Joanne 27 born Folkstone Kent

Another brother, is Joanne a sister? Sorry to be a pest Mac.

Sorry, should have said, she is George's wife.

Not having much luck tracing John at the moment - nothing obvious coming up with a birth place Surrey or Reigate, same with Mary Ann (or Marianne), she may have got married though. Someone else may have more luck?

Looking again at the census, they are at the same address as the 1841 census, and George/Charles look to be in business together. Charles is down as Master bricklayer employing 17 men, but George is also down as builder employing 17 men, so they may be in partnership together.

Thank you ever so much Mac.
The occupation for Charles is correct. You have been such a great help.

Sorry I misread George's wifes name it should be Susannah, not Joanne. Looks like they were married Q3/1848 reg Elham, Kent.

No luck with the other 2 - John or Mary Ann though.

Mac, you're brilliant. Thank you.

Hi, I have a James Roland Easton, born in 1920 in Elham, is this any help?

Hi Claire,

I haven't came across a James Roland Easton yet so, I don't know if they are related.
