Missing family. Did they exist?!

[BettyofKent]

James STUTELY born c1800, Stone, Kent
Judith STUTELY born c 1811 place unknown
Children:
Harriet c1830
George c1831
Mary c1834
Ann c1836
Charlotte c1838
Thomas c1840
Places of birth unknown, very likely Kent, possibly in Stone.

I can't find this family in any census.
The name STUTELY is usually dreadfully mistranscribed.
I've been looking for ages, & think I must be missing the obvious!

Could some kind person with fresh eyes please see if there's any trace of this family, anywhere!

Thanks in anticipation,

Betty

Many thanks Jean, that looks like the right Thomas, I haven't got another one of the right age (it's a big family & they liked the name Thomas!)

And many thanks also to bearkat.
So far I've had 22 mistrancriptions of the name Stutely, Standesey is a new one I never would have thought to try!
Although to be fair to Ancestry, it doesn't look the same as the neighbouring Stutely name, so I'll blame the enumerator for this one

Thank you both.

l did try for the other son George but could not find him only  Thomas but at least its something to go ,on you might find the rest of the family working backwards through the census's now.

Hi Jean.

Finding Thomas is a great help. I couldn't see any of them on the early censuses, so didn't bother with the later ones.
I had one last try by asking for help on here, before assuming they had emigrated & trying USA & Australia.

The Stutely name is a real pain on Ancestry.
It just shows what fresh minds can do, when you 'can't see for looking!'

Thanks again.
