Hi Derbs
Unfortunately Brighton is the weak spot in my Archives as I have very little information (apart from the 1841 census) for that part of the county.
You mention that John Daniels and Amelia had a son Stephen c1862 - that would probably mean they were born early to mid 1840's - so after the 1841 census.
Excuse me asking, but do you have proof that they were born or lived in Brighton?
