I'd like to know if anyone can find the Neri family on any census. Judith Charlotte Anne Neri was baptised in 1814 at St James Westminster, daughter of Patrick (gentleman) and Mary Anne , who had married in 1805. There were several other children of the marriage. It seems likely that they went to Europe at some time as Judith married in France about 1835, but using the name of Kennedy!! I don't know if her father had died and her mother remarried, or....? don't know why she was using another surname. What are the chances of finding a census in France or possibly Italy as they are said to have lived in Como at some time.

Hello Jeanette, To answer your query about the possibilities of finding a census return in France, the censuses there were conducted every 5 years from 1836 onwards (there are instances of census-like ones earlier - e.g. 1806, but most have not survived). However, these censuses ("recensements") are not kept centrally, but in each of the 100-odd départements (roughly similar to counties in the U.K.), so it is critical to have an idea of whereabouts to look ! The good news is that many of these are on-line, free of charge, as are birth marriage and death records. On the other hand, some records have been lost in some areas of France due to wartime destruction. I'm afraid I can't help about Italy - perhaps another lister can let you know.
