Completed - 1841 Census look up KIDMAN please

[Ouse who]

I can't see Francis Kidman b 1819 Bletsoe in the 1841 Census; a submitted Christening entry on IGI suggests his parents were James and Ann. There is a Francis Kidman of St Ives, but I am not aware of any link.

Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Michael.

I can see him in 1851 - do you already have details? He was living in Bucks

HO107 Piece 1723 Folio 535 Page 19

Can't see an 1841 entry

He's been mistranscribed as Thomas Kidman

Family living in Twinwoods, Clapham

James Kidman age 50 Ag Lab
Ann Kidman 45
Elizabeth 15
Francis 20
James 15
John 14
All born in county

HO107/ 7  Folio 2 Page: 1

On 1851 widowed mother Ann is born Clapham; with James born Kempston, John & Samuel born Ravensden; plus there's a Mariah age 6 female visitor born Brayfield, who is Francis & Mary Ann's daughter, christened Turvey 27/7/1845

There are no Kidmans in the Bletsoe PR up to 1812

Hi John,

Many thanks for the entry - I didn't have the parents' names when I looked - which would have helped!

I have Francis's 1851 entry thanks, but I appreciate those additional observations you made about other members of the family.

Kind regards, Michael.

Michael;  The Bletsoe PR does have the baptism on 22 Nov 1818 of Francis Kidman, son of James & Ann Kidman, farmer. Abode is Bourne End, Bletsoe.

It also has the marriage of James Kidman to Ann Chapman on 13 Mar 1818; witnesses William Faulkner (licenced clerk) & Hannah King.
