Just received the birth certificate for Lucy Sophia Wingfield and it states born 4th April 1841, born 12 Smiths Court in Kensington. would that be around the time the census was taken?. Father John Wingfield and mother Eliza Wingfield formerly Jackson . I seem to be no further advanced because I still am unable to find any of them either in the 1841 or 1851 census. Any more help will be appreciated if possible

Looking on google search, 1841 Census taken 6th June.

(below also from google, which seems to fit with 1841 Birth, Westminster, did you say Kensington?)

Survey of London: Volumes 31 and 32, St James Westminster, Part 2. ..... 65) The widening of Crown Court extended Rupert Street to Little Pulteney Street but ... plot a passage-way 9 feet wide led through Smith's Court to Great Windmill Street.

Chris. just looked at the cert again and it states Westminster goodness knows why I had Kensington on my mind., sorry about that. It's my age !!!!!. I did find in 1841 a John Wingfield and. Simon Jackson on same census, so wonder if any connection with those 2 and Eliza. By June that would have made Lucy Sophia Wingfield about 3 months old so she would have been listed on the census. States on her birth certificate father was a Baker.
