I've recently transcribed the census information for Preston and Elmstone, next Wingham, in my capacity of OPC for those 2 villages. There are a few Thanet strays listed in 1851 in these two villages, as follows: Surname Firstname Rel Mar S Ag Occup. Where Born Southee James Grnson M M 27 Farm Labourer Birchington Culmer Margaret Wife M F 37 Auctioneer's Wife Monkton Setterfield George Head W M 58 Ag Lab Minster Impett Sarah Wife M F 43 Lab's Wife Birchington Elenton Elizabeth Head W F 79 Annuitant Monkton Spain Margaret Head W F 77 Annuitant Birchington Fagg George Son M 11 Lab's Son St Lawrence Fagg Eliza Dau F 10 Lab's Dau St Lawrence Long Mary A.
