The first census was 1841...........the next 1851

What are the names? Where were they born? When were they born?

You asked for 1829 + 10 years.............

Can we assume you mean 1929?

In which case, you do not mean the census......you mean Electoral Rolls

As only those eligible - and registered - to vote, will appear, the info will probably not be of any use. No-one under voting age will be recorded

The place to try to find the info is the main public library for the area............

To find siblings..........try searching on freebmd......enter the surnames only.

Wheter or not the parents owned the property will not be recorded on the ER.
