Hi Outlaw

Sorry I do not have the 1851 census transcription for Brighton - Kemptown.

But, this morning I received the 1841 census for Brighton and
HO107/ 1123 covers Kemptown - but there is no street or name index; its a case of slowly scrolling through it all.

Were Martha and William Bignell there in 1841?

Hi again

HO107/ 1123 covering Kemp Town is split into 7 sections (1123 01 - 1123 07) each having upwards of 50 double pages.

7 x 50 x 2 = 700 pages,  some of which are very poor reproductions, some illegible, some very faint.

Please be patient - its not an easy or quick  task

But, will have a try

Thats OK

At the rate he produces children, he probably wore his poor wife out
