Hello! I am trying to find out what became of the following family who disappeared after 1851. I have been unable to find any of them in any subsequent Census, nor have I found them in Free BMD in Sussex. I have checked the 1880 US and 1880 Canadian Census on Familysearch but no joy there either. Perhaps they emigrated elsewhere? 1851 Census HO 107/1638 pg 6 At Magham Down, Hailsham, Sussex Thomas HUMPHREYS, Head, 53, Smith, b Gravesend (Kent) Mary HUMPHREYS, wife, 53, b Wartling (nee HONEYSETT or BEADLE) Thomas HUMPHREYS, son, 16, Smith, b Hailsham Emma HUMPHREYS, daughter, 1(?8), b Hailsham George HUMPHREYS, son, 14, Ag Lab, b Hailsham Edwin HUMPHREYS, son, 12, Smith, b Hailsham pg 7 Ellen HUMPHREYS, daughter, 10, Scholar, b Hailsham Martha HUNNISETT, wife's daughter, Un, (?2)8, b Herstmonceux Lucy HUNNISETT, Granddaughter, 4, b Hailsham Martha HUNNISETT married James BONIFACE in Hailsham in 1855.

Dear Joanne, Australia is one possibility. I have done a quick search of the New South Wales BDMs and found some names which may match: Thomas Humphreys, son of Patrick and Catherine died in Gosford 1881 Mary Humphreys, daughter of James and Mary died in Gosford 1897 Thomas Humphreys, son of Thomas and Mary died in Gosford in 1905 George Humphreys, son of Thomas and Mary died in Gosford in 1857 but I couldn't find a reference to Edwin. I just tried the sons on the assumption that the daughters probably married. So if the names of the parents of Thomas and Mary match, maybe that's where the whole family ended up, but you would have to get certificates to be sure. I couldn't find any reference to the Boniface family. Good luck!
