Sorry to be a nuisance but has anyone got access to the census for hampshire on dates other than 1881, 1891 or 1901? I ave ME and so just don't have the energy to go to the library and troll through microfilm and wondered if there is anyone who has it on disk that could do a lookup for me? Thank you for your time, -Kat

Hello Kat Where abouts in Hampshire are you looking for and what date? Eileen

Well 1871 is the census that I am really after, but anytime other than the 81, 91 and 01 censuses really. In hampshire it if Portsmouth and Southsea (used to be Portsea) that interests me most. All my relatives have been in this area for years! Best Wishes, -Kat

G'day Kat, All my rellies come from around that area. If you find you are related to any Carter's, Cull's or Hoar's, send me an email!!!. Jenny - Australia

Hi Kat! Lots of my rellies are also from this area - I am researching the names Abraham, Burghard, Bushnell, Dominey, Florance, Holliday and Pearson from this area - the 1861 and 1871 censuses can be hard to get hold of. I am sure Eileen can help you, she's helped me a lot :-)

Me too! If anyone has the 1851 census for Portsmouth I should so much appreciate a look-up of Joseph Parnell (born 1821 Deptford, Middlesex) and his wife Elizabeth (born 1823 Portsmouth). Address and children? In hope, but not very hopeful, many thanks!

Eileen

Hello Jenny, I have a family of Carter's in the Portsmouth/Southsea area perhaps i can help with any info Eileen

Hello Kat, I have the 1851 and 1881 and the 1891 census for Hampshire and buriels so if you let me know who you are looking for i will do a quick look up for you. I can also search at the records office for you next time i go Eileen

Eileen, thank you so much. This is brilliant. Sorry to be a pain but could you kindly look up William Frederick Restall born 1820 and his wife Ann b 1822 and children? Many, many thanks.

Hello Vanessa, i have looked up the 1851 census for your family of Restnall here's what i found. Ann age 29 born Portsmouth living with Ann aged 2 born Portsmouth ref ho/107/1658 page550 i then have a large family of restnall Elizabeth age 60 born Lymington Thomas age60 born Farlington (where i live)William age 30, Thomas age 8 Robert age 20Mary age 22 Daniel age 5 and Frederick age 1 there are a few other restnall so let me know if you would like their details as well Eileen

sorry Vanessa i did look up Restall not restnall having a funny five

Vanessa, do you think this might be your family, as i have a marriage for William and Ann Elizabeth Merritt for the 7 October 1839 at Alverstoke, if his dad's name is Thomas i have the marriage for him as well and the brothers and sisters. let me know Eileen

Eileen, would it be cheeky of me to ask you to look up Jesse Cox in the 1851 please. Born 1819, should have a wife Sarah born 1815. Many thanks if you can. Ann Glos

hello Ann, i have looked up your names, there are alot of Cox families but none with a Jessie Cox has he another name, or could he have been in the services so might not be on the census. there are a number of Sarah Cox i really don't mind helping out! Eileen

Eileen Jesse was in the R Marines. If Sarah is listed on her own there should be children Richard, Elizabeth, Matilda and Margaret (may be more). Many thanks Ann Glos

Hello Ann, sorry still cannot find this family on the 1851 census. Although i have found the birth of Jesse Cox on the 23 May 1819 St Thomas Portsea father Richard mother Margaret also a marriage to a sarah Little 20th Sept 1841 Portsea could this be them? If so let me know and when i next go to the records office i will look them up Eileen

Eileen Yes this is the family. It would be great if you could look them up. If you do would you mind emailing me the result as I have two holidays coming up and might miss the message on the board. I think Richard Cox married Margaret Grady but have no proof. Jessie Cox married Sarah Little, daughter of John Little but I and my cousins have been unable to track him down with a marriage/birth or death. All as far as I know in Portsea. Very many thanks ann Glos

Hello Ann, Would you like me to get copies of the parish records for any births and marriages for Jesse Cox and Sarah Little? and have you got copies of Jesse service yet? Would you like a copy of Richard and Margaret's marriage if i can find it? Eileen

Eileen, thank you so much for the info you have found for me. More than I could have hoped for! I have emailed you.
