Request lookup in 1841 census for Canewdon (ASHMAN)

[lxndr]

Hi Jan,

Sorry to bother you again but I'm wondering if you noticed who the vicar of Canewdon was when you were the checking the 1841 census for me.  The reason I ask is that I am trying to follow up on an article I read which said that the vicar of Canewdon's wife was quite likely a witch.  The vicar is named as William Atkinson and his wife as Mary Ann.  Apparently she also had a sister Eliza whose married name was Lodwick and who died in 1861 (Mary Jane had predeceased her). 

The family I am researching married at the parish church of Canewdon in 1797 and the vicar at that time was named W. Atkinson so I am trying to establish if this might have been the same vicar although it does look like it might be too early.

Best wishes,

Ian

Hi Jan,

That's brilliant!  Thanks ever so much.  I always thought my (half)-sister whose family it is I am researching had a hint of the witch about her 

Best wishes,

Ian
