Gentry Family of Springfield/Stratford
« on: Monday 13 February 06 16:32 GMT (UK) »
Thomas & Susan Gentry appear with their 4 children in the 1861 census for Stratford, West Ham.  Thomas is listed as being born in Springfield, Essex, Susan in Sudbury, Suffolk.  I was hoping that someone might be able to consult the 1851 census for me and tell me if Thomas and his wife appear there as a married couple, or if they are still single.  If single, is Thomas still with his parents, what might their names be, and what, if any siblings might be listed?  Many thanks,

Thanks so much.  You've confirmed exactly what I was hoping.  The 1871 census secured it.
