After spending quite some time trying to track anything down on this, I found there has been  a previous long thread about this on Rootschat
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=763174.2
This is the last page. Quite a lot of stuff found out, and areas for research advised.
Nothing new seems to have some to light since with respect to Census entries,marriages etc.
Just so other Rootschatters don't spend wasted time researching it all again.
