1841 census - lookup, White - East Grinstead.

[mph555l]

Hello,

I am researching my roots in the East Grinstead area of Sussex and would
be very grateful if someone with access to the 1841 census for East
Grinstead could look up the following names and list other family
members living at the same address:

Head:      Address:

John White   Wells Bottom Hermitage
James White   Grinstead Common
William White   Grinstead Common

John, James and William were brothers.

If by chance you find any other White families living in East Grinstead at
the time could you please list them also.

Many Thanks in advance,

/Ian Whyte.

Will post them in a few minutes (got to get the kids a sandwich for their lunch first)

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the info. A couple more pieces of the big puzzle have fallen into place.

I was hoping your search would also turn up Robert White (Ann White's husband,
and father of John, James and William), but he appears to be absent. He does
reappear in the 1851 East Grinstead census though.

Thanks again and all the best,

Hello Ian,

It may be worth another posting on the Surrey page, as Edward and Charles are in Lingfield in 1851. Wells Bottom Lane was the boundary between the two, certainly 1851 onwards and Baldwins Hill and Grinstead Common, I think, span both districts.
I'm at work at the moment, so working from memory. I have the 1851 index for Lingfield if you need any info, but not the 1841.

Regards,
Phil

Hi Phil,

Thanks for the tip. I will try posting on the Surrey page. I have always wondered
about the boundary between East Grinstead and Lingfield (and Sussex / Surrey for that matter), so thanks again for clearing that up.

I too have access to the Lingfield 1851 index, but not the one for 1841.

All the best,

/Ian

Ian,

If you look on a modern map, Wells Bottom Lane is now called Hermitage Road and is a turning off of Lingfield Road at the top of Baldwins Hill.
