Hi,
I have found my 3rd great grandmother Catherine Helen PICKIS in the 1851 census living with an aunt and uncle James PURVIS and Dorothy PURVIS. I would like to know more about the aunt and uncle, if they had any children etc. Would SKS be able to find them in the 1841 census for me? Thanks :)

Catherine's parents were Robert Paul PICKIS and Elizabeth. I don't know Elizabeth's maiden name so I hoped maybe being able to find out more about this aunt and uncle might help.
Thanks,
