Can anyone help me to find Thomas U REEVE in the 1851 Census? he was born in Ashford in about 1832.
I am keen to find the names of his parents and also, if possible, to find out what the initial 'U' stands for in his middle name.
Any insights?
Kind regards
Philip Candy

That's great; many thanks indeed.
Now to find out his father's name and what the 'U' stands for!
I note that in the 1861 Census there is a Mercy USBOURNE in the household; I wonder if this could be a clue?
Kind regards

There is a marriage licence for Thomas REEVE of Ashford bachelor & Mary USBORNE of Marden spinster, at Marden 14th July 1827.
It's a bit late though.

Many thanks for this. It seems gold-plated as far as I can see.
The mother - widowed by 1851 - came from Marden in Kent, and the name USBO(U)RNE fits with the name of the visitor Mercy Usbourne in 1861 as well as with Thomas's middle initial.
The year of marriage - 1827 - would make Mary about 21 or 22, which fits neatly as well, and of course it's just a few years before Thomas was born - estimated at 1831 or 1832.
This seems likely a really likely proposition; thanks so much for tracking it down.
Kind regards

[This is a real gem, although having found what seems to be Mary Usborne's baptism in 1805, I can't find the names of the parents!!!
I think you need to pay to find out the name of her parents - see the charges link above.

Part of the 1841 census for Ashford doesn't survive. I'm not sure which part so perhaps it would account for the family not being able to be found in 1841

Thank you all for this generous and very informative help.
With your assistance, I have a found out a whole lot more about this elusive family.
It looks as if Thomas Usborne REEVE was born in Ashford Kent, about 1832, probably a son of Thomas REEVE and Mary USBORNE who had married there in 1827.
He married Sarah Ann CANDY at Thanet in Kent in the June Quarter of 1866. She had been living at Thanet with her aunt Caroline BURGESS since at least 1851 - perhaps earlier.
At the time of the 1871 Census, Thomas and Sarah were living in Margate, but by 1881, Sarah was back with her aunt, Caroline BURGESS, this time at Ventnor on the Isle of Wight. She is shown as Married, but there is no sign of Thomas.
It looks as if Thomas died on the Isle of Wight in the March Quarter of 1882, although there is no sign of him in the 1881 census.
Sarah Ann remarried several years later, in the September Quarter of 1887 on the Isle of Wight to William Cole NORMAN. He died at Godshill on the Isle of Wight in 1897, and Sarah died there in 1914. Her death is registered under the hyphenated name Cole-Norman.
Thanks so much to everyone for helping to bring this story alive.
Kind regards
Philip Candy
