Robert Kite
« on: Saturday 11 August 18 10:39 BST (UK) »
Returning to ancestry after several years (illness) and trying to find census (1841/1851) details of Robert Kite and Martha Kite in Dover. They had at least one child (Edward Impett Kite born/christened at St Mary the Virgin church in 1837. Scant details I know, but am hoping.
Roberts, Caernarfon. Thomas, Caernarfon. Kite, Kent.

The 1851 census states Robert is married - 1861 he is widowed.  I can't see a suitable death for Martha though.  I do wonder if the 1851 is wrong and that she died many years before
