1871 Census - Paul Hughes

[TraceyD]

Hi,

Please could some kind soul look up Paul Thomas Samuel Hughes (b. 1830) and his wife Diana Hughes (b. 1833) on the 1871 census.

On the 1881 census the family were living in Milton in Gravesend, Kent. 

Thank you in advance to anyone who could help.

Hi
Where were they born? any other family with them?
cheers cardiff

[yonderpeasant]

pretty sure this could be them

The ages are a bit weird but as they were in a travelling van in 1881 possibly  the ages got translated a bit
Queensborough by Royal Charter Kent Reg dist Sheppey Rg10/985/20/33
24 South Street
Samuel Hughes head mar 39 general dealer b.Middx london
Dinah                wife   mar 34                      b.Sussex Brighton
Anney               daur         11                      b.Kent Rochester
Samuel              son          5                       b.Kemt Faversham
Phebe                daur         2                       b.Kent Chatham
the Anney matches the Sarah ann in 1861  and Samuel is near enough.Phoebe is out of kilter but I suppose there could have been one who died.Will bear further investigation anyway
