Hi Bonnie, I am fairly sure the first 2 letters are "He", the "H" is very like that in Hughes. But the rest of it is more difficult. I tried running it through FreeBMD but it keeps timing me out. It may be possible to do the search on all surnames "he*" if it were restricted to one district but I don't know what district St Andrews is. It won't work with selecting Middlesex and then I am not sure it should not be London. Sorry I couldn't help more.

Charlotte Hughes abt 1801 age 60 nurse Reading, Berkshire, Head James Hughes abt 1842,age 19 porter Chiselhurst, Kent, son Ellen Hennern abt 1858 age 3 St. Andrews, Mdx., Granddaughter This brick wall has been my nemisis for about 10 years now and I really need help with it. James is my gt. grandfather and I am looking for a marriage for Charlotte (his mother). On his birth record in the parish records it shows her as being a single woman but on James's marriage certificate he states his father is Charles Hughes. The reason I want fresh eyes is to look at this census and make out the last name of Ellen, the grand daughter. She is not James's daughter . The last name of Hennern is just a guess and I wanted to find her birth to locate further siblings of James and thus to his father. I would appreciate any kind of help that anyone can give me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This mailing list works in parallel with the London surname interest list on the web at http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~hughw/london.html .
