Does anyone have access to 1851 census other than ancestry? I am certain that last year I found a George Guckes in Tonbridge on Ancestry, now I cannot find him. He was in a german lodging house and was an itinerate muscian. Can any one please help?

You are all very kind, I have him in 1871, in 1861 he is a Gookie, but it was in 1851 I am searching for, I am conviced I had him once

sorry can't see him in 1851 cant even see him in 1861 with surname Gookie Jeanette

That was him in 1861 I suppose I must be mistaken about 1851. I thought maybe ancestry had deleted some records! I had it printed out once but shredded it as I didn't think it connected anywhere. Thankyou for trying

no wonder I couldn't find him still can't see him in 1851 must be some where as young George born in Lamberhurst in 1850 Jeanette

you are all very kind, I will spend another friutless day tomorrow! I am off to bed now. Quite senior and need my sleep!
