HENRY VOKES BORN 1851 Neath, Glamorgan, Wales

[debs28]

Im looking for information on 1851 census for Henry Vokes born 1851 Neath, Glamorgan, Wales.
I am also looking for his parents I believe that his mothers name was sarah from Highlitton, Somerset, England.
I would be very grateful for any help you could give me as I have hit a brick Wall

I don't think he was born until later in 1851 - so after the census?

Births, September 1851
Neath district    vol 26, page 535

thank you for your help I do appreciate it,
Is there anywhere that I can find out his fathers name?

[KGarrad]

I believe that Hester was George's latest wife!

Marriages, December qtr 1848
Clutton district (which includes HighLittleton)  vol 11, page 113

Weeks, George
Vokes, Hester

So I would assume that young Henry was the son of one of Hester's sons?

The obvious place to find Henry's parents would be on the Birth Certificate?!
