Hello carole Here are the entries from the 1851 census returns index for Southampton; REF: HO 107/1669 followed by page number LE FEUVRE Susan age 45 b Southampton pg 732 LEFEVRE Adelaide C age 16 b Barbados !!! pg 690 Anna M age 36 b Dublin pg 690 That's all there are I'm afraid...wonder if he was married to Anna, but away at sea? Maybe buying the silk...who knows? If you contact the special collections section at the Southampton central Library (you'll find them via www.Southampton.gov.uk) they will take a look at the entries & give you the addresses etc. Curiosly enough, I went to school in Southampton with a Clair Le Fevre...not many of them about.
