Hertfordshire Record Office Look up please?

Find My Past has Hertfordshire Parish registers. I did a search for William King born 1799 +/- 2 years for the whole of Hertford and it returned 6 results. Year ranging 1797-1801. Places Bishops Strotford, Hexton, Rickmansworth, Thorley, Bovingdon, Sawbridgeworth. since I am not familiar with Hertfordshire area it is unknown to me if any of these places would be near where he stated he was born.

Bishops Stortford, Thorley and Sawbridgeworth would be closest. The others are quite a distance from Hertford

1851 census has a william King b thorley abt 1798 living B Stortford so that looks like one eliminated

The 1851 has Hertford and a little squiggle by it, so I think its Hertfordshire. I'm not convinced it's Fore street. Herts has several villages with Street on the end of their name. E.g Hare street near Buntingford.

Hi, No unfortunatley i dont, i believe it was about 1856? On the 1851 census she is living at the  same address as William with her son John ( Paulson / Paulsy ) as Williams Lodger and a widow. She was born in Shoreditch. John King aged 20 on the 1861 census a Locksmith  in in fact her son down as John Paulsy on the 1851 census aged 10 also born Shoreditch.

Thanking you for your help

john King age 20 seems to be James in 1851 census. A James Thomas King Locksmith , William King father carpenter married Ann Wright 16 mar 1862 in Hoxton. Charles John King was one of the witnesses

This matches with birth reg for James Thomas in Shoreditch district 1839 mmn Parkes

Looking at images of 1851 and 1861 censuses again, Fore Street in All Saints parish does look more likely than further afield. Couldn't find All Saints on Hertford map at first.

There is a Charles King b Hertford with wife Eleanor and family living in Hertford. Similar age to William - could be related?

Wow!!!!!! Thank you very much, your help is very much appreciated.

I will certainly look into Charles King and Eleanor, I don't think I came across them so this is extremely interesting and very exciting!!

Thank you once again, this has made my day
