Nivard said: "There was an 1831 census but it was generally a head count and did not record people in each household, so in the main not of much use..." Well, that's life, I guess. I assume there is an 1861, and am hoping someone may be able to check that out. I checked the other reference, too. Thanks, Vince

Hi again Vince As I said previously I have checked the census from 1841 on and don't see a CERONIO or similar in any past 1851 , including the 1861 Having said that there may be more, mistranscribed or enumerated as in 1851 There are parts/people missing from all census years, some worse than others, like today some people did not want to be found, others were missed off for one reason or another The census being the massive task it has always been there will be administrative mistakes made along the way with some parts being lost, pages in some cases, sections in others In the greater scale of things its a miniscule amount when compared to the whole but who knows who was on the missing parts You say you checked the other reference? do you mean you looked at the GRO index page for the death in 1857? and you don't think its yours Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Well, that's life, I guess.

Hi everyone, Does SKS have access to Cranleigh Parish Records beyond 1875 which seems to be where the IGI entries stop. I would like to find out the parents of MARY LOUISA KELSEY whose birth was registered in the December qtr. of 1875. According to all the census entries she was born in Cranleigh. She seems to have lived with her grandparents GEORGE and MARY ANN KELSEY in Cranleigh in 1881 and 1891 and was working as a cook in Hampstead in 1901, but I haven't been able to find out which of George and Mary Ann's children was her mother or father.
