Hi, I haven't done any research in Bedfordshire, so am not sure what records are easily searchable. Can anyone check the 1841 Census for Henlow, I'm looking for a Samuel Croft (or Craft) and his wife, Susan, and any children. Hope someone can help. Regards Eunice Cubbage

Hi Eunice They were all Craft or Crafts until the mid 1820s when the spelling seemed to change to Croft They weren't in Henlow in 1841 (I checked) - by that time they were already in St Pancras, London, as in 1861 Jane was 28 and Walter was 21 both with a birthplace St Pancras I haven't been able to find them in 1851 but suspect that Susannah may have died in late 1850 as there is a death in St Pancras of Susannah Croft in the Dec quarter.

Mind you, that's easy compared with at least 7 different Lessels spellings of children baptised in one single family of mine in Fife - and no, I haven't managed to trace their descendants properly yet! Good luck, Ruth in Brum. (Birmingham, England.)
