dexter, it would help others to help you if you could provide a bit more information.

Do you have them in any other later census?
How do you know Henry was born in 1829?
How do you know his parents names?

I'm afraid we can't help unless you give us something to go on.

  Hi       The small amount of information I have is from a dearth certificate I was able to obtain from Australia,,and it states that he was 88 in 1917, and that he had lived in the United Kingdom,I have no idea when he went to Australia, but my Grand father Wlliam Lewis was born in Australia. I would just like to know where they lived in the United Kingdom.

                 Regards   Dexter

Many of the Australian Death Certificates I've purchased have a notation on the lower half of the form, under the heading "Where born and how long in the Australasian Colonies or States" ... they often state how long the deceased had lived in Australia, and sometimes how long in various States of Oz.

Take another look at the Death Cert., - it may have some sort of notation  ;)
