Hi again I presume you were replying to mine? Hard to tell as you have not included any part of the mail that you are replying to I really needed the census page reference, it will start HO107 then a series of numbers, the census I have access to does not have a search facility for addresses However armed with the parish I found her, she is transcribed on Ancestry as May CEROMO (which frankly is exactly what it looks like on the page, Mary RAFFERTY is also transcribed as May (again as it looks) Name: May Ceromo Age: 56 Estimated birth year: abt 1795 Relation: Head Gender: Female Where born: British Colony Civil parish: Herne Town: Herne Bay County/Island: Kent Country: England Registration district: Blean Sub-registration district: Sturry ED, institution, or vessel: 3d Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 87 Household Members: Name Age May Ceromo 56 May Rafferty 53 John Rafferty 13 HO107; Piece: 1625; Folio: 365; Page: 30 The third individual has been transcribed as John RAFFERTY which I believe is wrong (its a female for a start) and looks like just initials for first and last name only, the transcriber has assumed they were ditto's by the looks of it There is an entry on freebmd which you may want to investigate as follows Deaths Sep 1857 Cer*ies Mary Pancras 1b 8 The page is hard to read but may be your Mary (the page on Ancestry is much clearer than the freebmd page) Unfortunately ages are not in the index at that time Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) PS just a small point but the 87 in 1851 is the schedule number not the house number, in this case the house numbers are not recorded > Can you give the 1851 census reference? > > I hope this tells you what you need to know to find her in 1861 if she > exists then... > > Parish of Herne, Town of Herne Bay, 87 Clarence Road. > Where born?

Thanks, Nivard, for the additional reference. Wish I had '61. But that will come... I presume you were replying to mine? Yes, another list refuses to take much by way of quotes, so I err on the side of deprivation. May CEROMO (which frankly is exactly what it looks like on the page, Mary RAFFERTY is also transcribed as May (again as it looks) I have a clear image, and it is clearly CERONIO, and clearly MARY on all counts. The ditto marks are doubtless Mary "Jr," aged 13. Going to take a look-see on the piece of new info you gave me! Vince
