1841 census.

Yes this problem has been around for so some time. Yes I know all that you have given me. In the 1851 census in the same house as John lives a policeman Edwin West. He is attached to the police station around the corner. Other policemen are living in the same road nearby. At the present time no relationship to John. Henry is the brother of Edwin. After the 1861 entry no other exists for Valentine,  One does crop up in USA in late 1860s in the army and another in Australia in 1890 onwards. Cannot link any of these
