    Default George Whitewood- Census Help

    I am asking if any one can do a census look up for George Whitewood? He was born around 1868 in Willesbrorough, Kent. I am trying to find out who his parents were. Any Help would be greatly appreciated.. Jennifer

    Jennifer,

    This looks to be an easy one to find -- I think the following is your George's family:

    Address: Willesborough Lees, Willesborough, Kent
    -- Edward WHITEWOOD Head Mar 31 Machinist [born] Willesborough Kent
    -- Elisabeth Do Wife Mar 30 [born] Do Do
    -- Elisabeth Do Daur 7 Scholar [born] Do Do
    -- William Do Son 5 Do [born] Do Do
    -- George Do Son 3 [born] Do Do
    -- Alfred Do Son 1 [born] Do Do


    HTH,
    Trish

    Jennifer,

    George WHITEWOOD is also in the 1881 census with his family, including 3 more siblings. You can view a transcription at www.familysearch.org.

    Here are George's parents in 1861:

    1861 Census: RG9/515 Folio 106 Page 44
    Address: Willesboro Lees, Willesborough, Kent
    -- Edward WHITEWOOD Head Mar 22 Railway Labr in Factory [born] Kent Willesborough
    -- Elizabeth Do Wife Mar 21 [born] Do Ashford


    I'll see if I can find Edward in 1851...
