1851 Census Lookup Please

[Keiys11]

Cooper family at 21 in 1871
Williams in 1851
Haven't yet found 21 in 1861

Thank you for searching you were so quick at finding.

Blake was aged 24 on marriage in January 1874 so born circa 1849.

that is correct he married Johanna Smith in Jan 1874, Oatlands, Tasmania.

What year was the Land Order issued?    Any age on the arrival passenger list?

The land issue was 29th Nov 1875. No age on the passenger list but he was born 1849.

Once again thank you to all of you on your help.

So no info on the M/C?

I have a 1868 Victorian M/C with lots of info on Parents on it for both parties.

Thank you, yes that information is correct .

My challenge is finding info on his life prior to arriving in Tasmania. He came as a trade worker to work on the Mainline Railway Company. All i have is he came from Middlesex.

He death certificate says "parents unknown" and his marriage certificate does not give details of his parents either.  It is possible he is an orphan as a child who was christened as George Blake in 1849 was left at the foundling hospital in Middlesex. Which i do have info on this orphan and his life but i was trying to find some solid information to confirm it was 100% my George Blake. But when i came across the information that his last address was 21 Chatham Gardens, Middlesex i wanted to research again with an open mind and retrace.

Thank you all with your help

Yes I saw that George on 1851/1861 Census and thought he may be yours.

In the future DNA may be your only recourse to trace his origins.

This is the only illeg birth reg I could find in the London area.

Just reread your info.
Do you have a christening that is possibly your George?
