I have copy of the scanned original - definately states Bucks and when I enlarged the document it definately looks like Hammerson. And its definately FAY - I'm thinking the enumerator had a few spelling mistakes for instance they write Purbright(Surrey) when it should be spelt Pirbright. What I think is Datchet, Bucks is spelt Dalchet. Thanks for the suggestions, Sarah

Looking at the original you've sent me, I can say it's definitely Fay (I checked the F against _F_oundling & _F_rances), & looks very much like Hammerson. Amersham looks like the best bet. His wife's from Harefield, which is not many miles away. Despite the unusual first name, I've not found him in the 1841 or post-1851 censuses. Do you know his wifes maiden name? Anne Elizabeth ...? Children Charles & Eliza, age 9 & ? (obscured by mark), all born Harefield, both children at school. Have you found their births?

I think Allen FAY is my ancestor Allen FOY (he appears in the 1841 Census in Cowley near Uxbridge as FOY). no references to Allen Foy after 1841. In the 1841 Census Allen is living with a Susan Foy aged 1 and Ann Neville. I think I've found Susan's Christening in 1839 in Denham (mother's name Ann) and then in 1844 the christening of Eliza Foy also in Denham and parents names were Allin Foy and Ann Elizabeth. haven't found Charles on the IGI yet - typical - he's the one I'm descended from! in 1842 there is a Marriage of Allen Foy possibly to Ann Elizabeth Newells, registered in Uxbridge.
