If you find any dates that fit in with census info etc we will check them out for you and possibly help wih more address info for them. Hope this helps,Linda and Tony writes: Alan Thanks for your e-mail. I don't have anything concrete but believe they were both christened in St Mary's Portsea.

Do you have any birthplaces or places of residence from other census entries or certificates? The 1851 census index for Hampshire has a separate index for each parish, so there are about 300 separate indexes to check.
