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

Ablitt / Brown

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.

Hi Chris
Could I please trouble you to look up on your 1851 census of Brighton for the surname BEEHO.  I'm not sure if they will be together but I am looking for William Augustus and his wife Harriet and several children.  Any BEEHO entry has to be my family as it is such a rare name - more a matter of proving how not disproving if that makes sense.
 Thank you for this wonderful service!   :)

Hi Anne-Marie

Have just checked the 1851 census for Brighton (Brighton, Hove, Preston, Patcham, West Blatchington, Hangleton, Portslade, Aldrington, Southwick, Steyning, Old & New Shoreham) without success for your Beeho ancestors.

Not a trace of them anywhere - not even a suggestion of a miss transcription either.

We are not doing very well are we?

Hi Chris,

I am looking for the Baptism of a Thomas Smith in Lewes!!!  yes, I know - Smith is like looking for a needle in a haystack!  

Anyhow, this Thomas Smith was born around 1802 (I have checked 3 census returns for Brighton last week) and his age indicates a birth year of 1802.  

I am really keen to make a 'breakthru' with this GGG Grandad of mine if it is at all possible.

Many thanks in advance....

Hi Chris

I have only just found this site and it seems you are a godsend to many people. Many thanks for helping us out.

I am researching the Box family and wonder if you can give any information on the following:

James Box (b. 5/8/1824 Ardingly) who married Jane Stoner (b. 9/6/1815 Ditchling). I do know about the lives of their children but all I know of them was that Jane died on 14/8/1875 and I have found James in the 1881-1901 censuses (living in Brighton in 1901). In all these censuses James has recorded his age as 3 years younger than he really was!

John Box (b 1819 Ardingly). James’s brother. Any information would be appreciated as there are many John Box’s around at this time.

Elizabeth Box. This is where I know very little! Elizabeth is James and John’s mother but neither son has a father recorded. There are three Elizabeth Box’s living locally at this time but I have nothing concrete to connect anyone of them. Any information at all would be invaluable.

All the best

Neale Box
