Hi, Can some of you experts perhaps give me some guidance on how I can find out information about my GGgrandfather's family. In the 1851 (Grays) and 1841 (Langenhoe) census he was John Marchant with wife Sarah Ann. He was married in 1837 in Layer De La Haye and used the name John Marchant Smith, witnessed by his father William Marchant Smith. The censuses say that he was born in Langenhoe, but I can't find any trace of him or his father. I have been through SEAX looking, though mostly for the family of Sarah Ann Curtis, but that's another story. Any pointers welcome please, though I have just been struck by the thought that maybe they were itinerant and Langenhoe was just a convenient remembrance from his childhood and he was actually born/baptised elsewhere. Thank you, Peter Merchant
