1851 census-REIGATE

[Jane M]

I have the 1841 details of JAMES & ESTHER LEDGER at Reigate Foreign.

If someone could please see if he's still around in 1851, probably in his 60s. To help clarify things, I need to know where he says he was born.
Many thanks,

Jane

I've had a look at 1851 census and neither of your names (or any soundex) are shown residing in Surrey. Sorry.

How about Reigate, Kent?

1851 Census: HO107/1599 Folio 170 Page 17
The Foreign of Reigate, Kent

James LEDGER Head M 67 Farm Labourer [born] Surrey, Horne
Esther LEDGER Wife M 66 " " Wife [born] Sussex - Fletching

And right beside James and Esther...

Thomas LEDGER Head M 31 Farm Labourer [born] Surrey -- Coulsdon [or Carlsdon]
Eliza LEDGER Wife M 21 " " Wife [born] " Reigate

And...

George LEDGER Head M 28 Farm Labourer [born] Surrey Merstham
Mary LEDGER Wife M 26 " " Wife [born] " Alfold

HTH,

The Ledgers were at Horne in 1700s. My 5-grandmother was Mary Ledger (b1741). She was daughter of Joseph and Sarah Ledger.

Trish, Eric & Bengunn, many apologies for not replying to your posts, it must have been at a time when B-G Forums was having gremlin problems so I missed them. Scary to see my original post was over 2 years ago!
