Well, seems to be the same wife and family in 1841 

With 4 older children and Frederick a Tomkins 

Have I assumed wrongly William and Frances were married 

[lizdb]

I think we must be talking two different families here with minimal info given on each.
I was looking exactly the same as you, Mum, and found the same result (just I'm a bit slower!)

I think this must be the Francis:

hO107 1744 218 26
Wadcroft Kettering
Francis Tomkins 51 shoemaker bn K
Elizabeth wife 52 lacemaker bn K
Phoebe 19 bn K
Frances 16 bn K
Mary E 14 bn K

Hi Liz  -   

Yep  -  I've just found them too, except I think it says they were all born Pitchley 

[Ned]

Many thanks for your prompt replies, yes, William and Francis were different families.
Regards
Jon

Best to start your own thread, riddell

This one, headed 1851 census, has been completed for Ned, I believe.

If you are looking for a birth then make sure you check FreeBMD before posting, also advise if you have checked on censuses for a place of birth (if he was still ni England), plus do you know when he went to Australia?

[riddell48]

yes he was in australia ,went to new zealand for 2 years and then settled in victoria australia ,he died in australia in 1894 aged 54 yrs makes him born 1839 ish ,I have his death certificate copy and his parents are unknown, but on his son williams birth cert he has staffordshire as his birth place ,I have checked ancestry I am subscribed also every other free site .cheers colin
