1851 addresses in Burwell Cambridge
« on: Tuesday 30 August 05 05:32 BST (UK) »
As the 1851 census is missing for Burwell, Cambridge, does anyone know of anyway to find out where people lived then - maybe a electoral or address index.  I am looking for Matthew and Ann Bowers, and their children.  It is the only way I can prove that these people married.  They both had children when they married, and I think Charles Barnes married Mary Bowers- step sister and brother.  I know they married, but I want to prove that their respective parents are Matthew and Ann above.

Hopefully they will come back on soon.  At least that information is now there for anyone else using a search engine to find information on the family.
