Hi Patricia It is a long time time since your post and you may have since found the information you were looking for, but in case you haven't James and Rose are in Stoke near Guildford Surrey in the 1861 Census. The entry is: JAPPENDEN, James Head Married M 30 1831 ...Fireman Ashford, Kent JAPPENDEN, Rose Wife Married F 24 1837 Kingston, Surrey RG number: RG09 Piece: 427 Folio: 44 Page: 38 Address: 8, Drummond Road, Stoke Next Guildford, Guildford County: Surrey The names are as I read them though the transcription on FindMyPast was JAPPINEN - I have requested a correction here. I hope this helps. I came across the entry looking for James Tappenden b 1831 in Westwell Kent, which is near Ashford. The marriage entry for James and Rose gives his father as James, whereas the James I was looking for is the illegitimate son of Mary Tappenden.
