1851 census,Cole family, Great Blakenham

[kiwi]

Hi,

Can anyone help me with the following family from Great Balckenham;

John Cole (age abt 53yrs)
Elizabeth Cole, wife, (nee Palmer)
Elizabeth Amelia, (age abt 21yrs)
John , (age abt 20yrs)
Jesse, (age abt 11yrs) female.

Family history has them as millers/mill builders.  I know that by 1856 four of them were in NZ.  Elizabeth the wife, died just before embarkation, not that I have been able to find any record of this, but it sounds to sad not to be true surely.

Many thanks for any help with this elusive( to me anyway) family.

Elizabeth Cole nee Palmer was the daughter of my 5xg grandfather Samuel Palmer from Bramford.
I had Elizabeth dying in Christchurch NZ two years after emigration but I have no sources on that.
I do have the will of her father Samuel who died 1834 he left his estate to his 2nd wife and 4 surviving children but stated Elizabeth should receive hers and not her husband
