1841 and 1851 Census - Charles Sinnock

[mnmilt]

Hi,
Please can somebody look up Charles Sinnock (b abt 1788 in Hailsham) in the 1841 and 1851 census for Hailsham?  He may well be mistranscribed as Sinnsck in certain 1851 transcriptions.

Regards

Don't know my Mayors from my Majors or Minors or my 36 from 56

You obviously wear better specs than I do - I had great difficulty reading this!

Hi Mark

Although there are some 13 seperate entries for the surname SINNOCK in and around Hailsham, Unfortunately the family members of Charles family are not listed.

Sorry about that

Chris, Tricia,
Many thanks for your help.  Charles Sinnock was a major in the East India Company and retired in 1833.  He married Jane Harris in Brighton in 1848.  I've just received the marriage certificate courtesy of Cath151 who had listed it as an unwanted certificate on Rootschat.  They had a daughter, Emily, who died in 1857.  Ellen was born in 1834 in Hailsham.  It is possible that Ellen was the daughter of Jane Harris and another husband or was born out of wedlock (the marriage certificate states that Jane was a spinster and Charles was a bachelor).  As an aside, Charles' brother Henry was a Captain in the East India Company.

Perhaps Jane Harris and Ellen Harris are listed in the 1841 census for Hailsham?

Regards

Mark

Hi Mark

I have been through the 1841 census for Hailsham looking for Jane and Ellen Harris - whilst there are 15 seperate entries for the Harris surname; unfortunately non of them match your criteria of either Jane or Ellen

Sorry Mark
