Devon 1851 census look up please: HEXT and COLE

[wowie]

Hi,

I'd appreciate someone searching for the following in the 1851 census please:

1) James Hext, born 1833, with a father called Robert.

2) Mary Cole, born circa 1839 in Manaton, father called James. Mother not known. (I can't find a birth certificate.) I suspect she had an elder brother called George.

Many thanks.

Hi

This is the only James Hext that matches the year of birth you gave that i could find

THis is the only Mary Cole i could find with a father James who matches year of birth although place of birth is different

Thanks Jaki,

That looks to be the right James Hext, as at the time of his marriage some years later he was a blacksmith.

I was hoping to find him with his family though: if it is not too much trouble could you also do a search for his father, Robert Hext. I don't know much about him, other than that he is described somewhere in my records as a farmer.

Thanks.

Could this be James's father Robert

Or I think this is a better option for James Parents

Stephen  "      son   15     "          "                      "
Deborah  "      dau   13     "          dau                  "

Lr Natsworthy, Widecombe in Moor, Harvey Abbot, Devonshire

There is also a Robert Hext aged 26 working as a farm lab for Richard Smeardon of Heatree, Manaton, Newton Abbot.

Just thought that could be useful to your research.

All the best Anjo
