Freebmd is not complete.
Try checking their coverage, then try searching their images for the most obvious gaps.
Otherwise, it's a pay-per-view site to view images or a visit to the fiche at libraries.

No Boyce/Boices buried 1841-1851 in West Pennard according to the National burial Index or Ditcheat for the same dates. The index seems to have coverage past 1840 for both these parishes

Censuses can of course get names wrong

Thanks valda ,
once again very helpful.
cant understand where this child has disappeared to.
on 1841 census then not 1851.
unless they changed his name and sent him with family to be brought up with them.
Although their daughter Ann is listed on 1851 age 7  in Ditcheat , Street.

most of the info i already have is on my Boyce website

www.boycegenes.4t.com

much appreciated.

As I said you get mistakes on censuses. Particularly on early census like 1841. So he or even she, may not have been called Frederick in the first place. On the 1841 census I have found the occasional entry I cannot verify in any other record. You need to check the parish registers to be certain (presuming they were not non-conformist).

Thank you.
hopefully someone in the Somerset area of Ditcheat or West Pennard who will oblige my request of help and see if there is anyone born with that name around 1840/1841.
As he was only 5 months old at the census date in 1841 it may be around December 1840.

thank you for your time and patience whilst helping me in my Boyce research.
