Hello Paula, I have looked at the 1851 Census Index for Reading, for the Newbury area and the Thatcham area, no sign of any of your family with any of the spellings. I have also looked at Kingsclere and the 26 villages. I did find in the 1851 Census for Baughurst HENSLAR Betsey age 1 born Steventon Daniel age 7 born Ewhurst Elizabeth age 51 born Ewhurst Elizabeth age 22 " " Hannah age 3 born Steventon Jane Ettie age 27 born Ewhurst Regards Barbara Mallyon Basingstoke, Hants, UK BarbaraMallyon@lewmal.co.uk ----- Original Message ----- From: Paula Patterson To: BarbaraMallyon@lewmal.co.uk Sent: Friday, November 08, 2002 10:36 PM Subject: 1851 census for Berkshire Barbara I don't suppose you would be kind enough to look for the name HENSLER/HENSLAR in the 1851 census for Berkshire? I have some children born to Daniel & Matilda HENSLER in the 1850s and 1860s in Reading. I also have several missing siblings of Daniel and as the general trend had been to move northwards I wondered if others might have strayed over the county boundary. If you could look for me I would be very grateful. Paula in Montreal PS I've also seen the name transcribed as HASLER, HENSLOW, HENSHAW, HEUSLER & HEUSLAR in my searches!!
