1851 & 1861 censu help please
« on: Wednesday 24 May 06 15:10 BST (UK) »
Hi there,
Could some kind soul possibly help me with look-up's from the 1851 and 1861 census ?
I am looking for Christian Wilcox born Alveley Shropshire abt 1839 /1840
His mother and father are  Thomas & Maria Wilcox
 ( sometimes spelt Willcox)
Occupation Waterman.
I have searched and searched - but they seem to be hiding somewhere ( or do I just need new glasses !)

Any help much appreciated

Hi

In 1861 I think that he is down as Christopher Wilcox (RG9/4441)
in the Royal Navy.  Vessel "St Jean d'Acre" based in Cadiz Bay

Yes, that sounds possible. ( in 1881 he is listed as mariner) :) :) :) :) :)
