Luxford - 1851 look up

[Daphne]

Would any kind person be able to look up the 1851 census for Wisborough Green for me for Thomas and Esther Luxford and their son George William Luxford, George junior was born on 19 July 1846 in Wisborough Green. His father was a labourer and his mother's maiden name was Jupp.

I cannot find them in 1851 as I do not have most of the West Sussex index. In 1861 they are in Chelsea RG9 34 F107
Thomas age 53 married a carter b Sussex
George age 15 errand boy b Sussex
Martha Andrews dau in law ( often meant step daughter) age 11 Nurse girl
b Chelsea
It looks as if Thomas might have a second wife who was married to an Andrews and had Martha?

Hi Andrea

Thanks for that look-up. For some reason I'd assumed that Thomas had died before his wife Esther. Obviously not. I shall go back to the Indexes of Death and see if I can find Esther's death between 1845 and 1861, whcih might give me a little clue as to where they were in 1851.
