On the 1851 census he was living at 7 Bridge St, Homerton, Hackney, London with his wife Elizabeth b 1828 Enfield Middlesex [ sorry don't have have a maiden name ] and his daughter Anna Elizabeth b 1850 Homerton Middlesex. Would appreciate any help with this search. Thankyou in advance. Regards Lynda

GEORGE EDWARD SOUTHEY - International Genealogical Index Gender: Male Christening: 06 JUN 1819 St Alphage, Greenwich, Kent, England

Lynda Do you have the names of his parents/siblings?

The only info I have on his parents are of his birth / christening info of IGI. George and Mary Southey. His brother is possibly George Edward Southey b 1819 St Alphage Kent

I wish to thank everyone who is helping me, all your efforts are really appreciated. Lynda

Hi Lynda I had a pretty good look but was not able to find him either. It is not surprising as the original images for 1841 are so difficult to read in some cases, what with the flowery handwriting or the fading away of the writing on the page so you can barely see anything. The people doing the transcriptions really had their job cut out for them! In a few places they have just put a Christian name and when I looked I don't even know how they were able to make that out. Sorry I couldn't be of any help. Good luck. Maggie

I'm glad it's not only me that has problems with the 1841 census, I will persevere non the less. Thanks to everyone that has tried to help me. Regards Lynda

Still no sign of peter southey or any of his family on the 1841 census. Where are they hiding ? Lynda
