I think I have found him on the 1861 census It says he was born in Little Clacton He was on a boat
In 1871 he is called an absent mariner on the 1871wales  census piece 5367 folio 18 page 17 roll 848455

Hi again - well its not a mistranscription, looks very clear - so the enumerator may have misunderstood what was provided on the schedule ...


The Little Clacton POB is better - doesnt help in 1851, but maybe in 1841 ?


You need Father's name etc - have you located a marraige to the lass who's shown in 1871 ?

Ill consider him born in Little Clacton
 :)Thanks Jenny

I wonder how many people had their birthplace noted in a census as the boat they were born on.

Is little Clacton a boat 

[findem]

Hi,

Sorry to mislead you, I was referring to the name Hermontine which I thought looked like the name of a boat.  When I posted that comment I was thinking Little Clacton was on the coast like Clacton itself, having just looked up Lt Clacton I see it's inland a bit.  I suppose that knocks the name of a boat theory well and truly on the head 

Regards.
