Which unfortunately means that the registers are only available in Hunts Record Office, although they do run an online research service, for which they make a modest charge. If you would like the 1841 census checked just let me know Hope this helps for a start Regards David Priscilla Scudder <pws@cape.com> a écrit : Hi - New to list and trying to find more about family of Ann THOMPSON (18l7-) and Thomas TOWNSEND (1814-), birth and marriage places unknown.
