I have came up against a brick wall with my Gr Grandfather John Edwin Jacob Miller born c 1843. On the 1871 Census for West Malling, Kent, it stated that he was age 30 and born in Hastings, Sussex. Also an entry for Catherine Miller (Daug) age 7 born in Hastings, Sussex, but his wife Harriett was born in Barming, Kent which leads me to believe that John and daughter Catherine went to Kent prior to 1869 where he married Harriett Langridge in Kent.
On John and Harriett's marriage Certificate it stated that John was a Bachelor.
The only entry in the IGI for a Catherine Miller born in Sussex around 1864 and close to Hastings is born in Cuckfield,West Sussex registered 1st Quarter in 1864.
Is there anyone who could look up to see who this Catherine's parents are, and maybe a John Edwin Jacob Miller born around 1841-44 in Hastings please.
I know this is not a lot of information to go on but would be very grateful for any information.
Kind regards
Barbara

The 1871 Census is correct. RG10/917 Folio 19 page 29. District/Parish: West Malling. Address Back Street.
I did consider if Catherine was daughter of Harriett, but then discounted it as Catherine was born in Hastings, Sussex as was John, and then there was a gap until the next child born c1871 in Kent.
Carole, where did you find the family of John and Harriet with a one year old daughter?
Thanks for your interest.

Hi there
Have checked the Hastings Baptisms between 1700 and 1870
Sorry, but there is not a John or a Catherine baptized within that time period
Sorry

John , Harriett, and children Catherine, Charles and William left England for New Zealand in 1874 so therefore they will not appear in the 1881 Census. Harriett's maiden name is Langridge.
I have enough information on Harriett at this stage, but need to trace the movements of John and Catherine in Sussex.
John's NZ Death Certificate gives no age nor date of birth.
Thankyou Chris in 1066Land for searching the Baptisms for Hastings.

Hi CaroleW
Its on FMP (It's taking me ages to download it)
John age 30
Harriett age 28
Kate age 7
Rosie
ADDED
The reference looks right though the 1 in the 917 could be mistranscribed as a 4 as its very feint -- I think it's right on FMP though

Hi
Thank you Rosie - I had an idea it was FMP as it's definitely not on Ancestry

Sorry Carole,
Re: 1871 Census
I went to bed thinking I had replied as I typed the reply but through tiredness must have deleted it by shutting down my computer without 'Posting' it. Stupid!!
20 years ago I viewed a film at the 'Church of the Latter Day Saints' - That was our main source of research in those days. '20 years ago' I hear you say, but I have only just returned to researching my family after 16 years away from it.
