Hello Everyone; Its 1 am for me and a lot of you are just getting up so before I head for bed heres my question. If someone has the 1871 census for Kent could you please look up Thomas and Eliza Boakes with probably around 6 children at that time. I don't know if the 1871 is indexed but the address I have for the 1881 census is 11 Cottage Meresborough Rainham, Kent. Some of the childrens names are Alfred, Bertha, Thomas and Elizabeth. Anything you could find would be wonderful.

Hi, The LDS have filmed all fo the censuses 1841 - 1891. You can order the parish you need (for a small fee) at any LDS centre and search it there. If there is no index then it can take quite a while. Hope this helps, Gwynne

Hi Gwynn The family records centre near me won't order anything for the next few weeks as they are moving. Guaess I will just have to wait.
