Hello Chris,
Could you please help with early census look ups for my WESTON family?
Most WESTONs being researched appear to come from Mayfield, but my John was born in 1821 in Heathfield.
In 1841 he was single, but where?
By 1851 he was married to Mary COOK (age 24). The marriage occurred in Brightling in 1849. By 1854 he was definitely living at Burwash - Perrymans. There are likely to be 2 children John 6 and William 3.
John was involved in milling as was his father, also John, but I have no information on the elder John or any other siblings.
Thanks
Clive

Hi Clive
Have read your lookup request over and over again trying to find ways in which I can help you.
Most of the information I have is not of any use to you - plus as yet, I do not have the 1841 census for Heathfield.
I have looked on the 1851 census for Burwash - but he is not there?, although you say he was there in 1854.
Am now going to take a slow look through the rest of the 1851 for East Sussex to see if I can locate them

Hi there Clive
Could you please help with early census look ups for my WESTON family?
Found them in Battle Registration District
HO107/ 1636/ Folio 452/ Page 11 – Stonesdown Cot Crofts, Brightling.
WESTON John, Head, Marr, 29, Ag Lab, born Brightling, Sussex
Mary, Wife, Marr, 24, born Brightling
James, Son, Unm, 4, born Brightling
William, Son, Unm, 2, born Brightling
You have an extra child in James, but where is John? - He is down the road staying with his grandparents.
HO107/ 1636/ Folio 437/ Page 24 – Tolesters Cottage, Brightling.
MARCHANT William, Head, Marr, 65, Farmer of 20 Acres, born Brightling
Sarah, Wife, Marr, 66, born Brightling
WESTON, John, Grandson, Unm, 6, born Brightling
HO107/ 1636/ Folio 452/ Page 23 – Tolesters Cottage, Brightling.
MARCHANT Robert, Head, Marr, 58, Ag Lab, born Brightling.
Mary, Wife, Marr, 57, born Brightling
George, Son, Unm, 12, born Brightling
But that now poses a problem as you said -
By 1851 he was married to Mary COOK (age 24). The marriage occurred in Brightling in 1849. By 1854 he was definitely living at Burwash - Perrymans. There are likely to be 2 children John 6 and William 3.
Should it not be Marchant rather than Cook ?
You try to answer 1 problem - it gives you 2 or 3 more

Hello Chris,
Yes it does pose more problems, but not quite as you might think!
I knew of James Weston, but he was believed to have died in infancy, I now know that it was after 1851 so I will renew my search for him.
Younger John was not Mary's child, so it does not surprise me he was living with his grandparents, but John's (1821) first wife was Sarah Croft so I am completely surprised by the Marchants.
The Marchant connection I have is as a possible ancestor of John's third wife whom he married in 1859!
There was no elder John in Brightling in 1851, I am beginning to suspect he had died much earlier.
thanks again, any further info around these families in Briightling much appreciated.
Clive

Hi Chris,
I wonder if you lookup the name DEASON in the 1871, 1891 and 1901 Census for Sussex please. There isn't too many of them as they originate from Cornwall.
Many thanks once again for your kind offer and work.
Kind regards
Rick

Hi Chris,
I don't suppose you have a Brighton 1841 census? If not I see you have 1851, so please could you look-up a HENRY BRAVERY, cabinet maker and his wife Philadelphia. I'm trying to find Henry's parents, maybe hoping to find an aged parent living with them. Just to prevail a little bit more on your good nature, if you have any parish records for the Brighton, Lewes areas, could you see if there is a possible baptism for Henry, maybe around the early 1800s. I might get lucky and find his parents that way.
Many thanks,
Jane

Hi there
Have checked the 1851 census for Brighton - but no Bravery on there at all.
The nearest is Edward BRAVEY 34 and his wife Charlotte 32 with their son John aged 10
Sorry

Hi Cyberbob
In reply to your private message:
If grandmother was 36 when she died in 1936, she should have been born about 1900. Have looked on the 1901 census for an Evelyn Maud Ablitt, but although there are 52 people with the surname Ablitt, non match up with your details. Non of those 52 live in Sussex either.
If Grandfather was born in 1886, he would have been about 4/5 years of age, (depending on which side of the census he was born) on the 1891 census – On the 1891 census . there are 6733 people with the name George Brown of which 52 were born in Buckinghamshire – but only 4 show Beaconsfield as their birth place, one of which is 4 years old with the name George Henry J Brown.
Database: 1891 England Census May 18, 20049:25 AM
Name, Age in 1891, Birthplace, Relationship to head-of-house, Civil parish, County.
Brown, Eliza, 47, Coleshill, Buckinghamshire, Wife, Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire
Brown, George Henry J, 4, Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, Son, Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire
Brown, George William, 41, Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, Head, Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire
Brown, Gertrude Eliza, 14, Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, Daughter, Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire
In order to see if we have the correct George Henry Brown, you need to find the marriage certificate of George Henry Brown and Evelyn Maud Ablitt
According to your information, the first child Edward was born in 1919, therefore start there and work backwards. The marriage certificate will give the fathers name of both the bride and groom.
