David Boon born abt 1806 Ramsey, Huntingdonshire. Have found on 1841,1851 and 1871 census but he is elusive in 1861. In 1851 he is shown as David Boone, hoh age 44, born Ramsey, Huntingdonshire, living Crease Drove, Ramsey, Huntingdonshire children listed Elizabeth age 21 David age 15 Lucy 13 Matthew 11 James 9 Isaac 7 Frederick 2 Ref 107/1748 David's wife, Lucy, is listed living with David's brother Richard Boor (shown as sister to Richard) living 40 Foot Bridge, Ramsey and two other children John , age 19, (shown as a servant) and Cornelius age 5. I believe these are children to Lucy (and David) Ref 107/1748 In 1871 David and Lucy Boon are shown living Black Bush, Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire with grandson Arthur, age 14 I have been unable to find David, wife Lucy and children Elizabeth and Lucy (though poss married by now), David, Matthew, James, Isaac, Frederick, John or Cornelius in 1861. Please can anyone help?

I can´t see anything obvious for 1861. However, it would appear that on Ancestry there are 11 districts transcribed for Ramsey in 1851 and 10 districts transcribed in 1871. In 1861 there is only 1 district transcribed for Ramsey - so if they were still living there in 1861 they could be on the missing transcriptions. Have also checked 1861 on 1837online - and they don´t appear to show up there either.
