1841, 51, 61 and 71 census look ups - WILSON - Portsea
« on: Thursday 21 July 05 18:36 BST (UK) »
Hello

Can anyone find the WILSON family on any census please. 

They should be William and Patience married in Portsmouth in 1839 and their children
William Henry born 1841 - UK.
Patience Louise born 1843
Alice Ann born 1846
Henry John (my grand-father) born 1849 - died Bermuda in 1928.
James born 1852
Rose born 1857

Henry John was married in New York in 1872 but not sure when he emigrated.

My correspondent thinks that they may have lived on Penny Street in Portsea and that father was a wheelwright.

Many thanks

Hello John

Thanks for that - the Kent connection may be of interest as the family named their house "Kent House" when they moved to Bermuda.
