Please could you look on 1841 and 1851 cencus for me please.

Thomas Chesson and his wife Hannah living somewhere in west Norfolk

They had a daughter at Sporle, Norfolk in 1808 so I would expect them to be born around 1780
I think they may have then moved to Gayton.
Sorry if this is a bit vague, but this is all I have to go on at the moment.

Many thanks, Linda
