Find Ancestors

I wondered if anyone would be kind enough to look up the following family for me on 1871 and 1891 census? FIGG John aged 37 on 1871 wife Charlotte aged 33 on 1871 children that I know about in 1871 are George aged 6, William aged 4, Thomas aged 2 and possibly Caroline aged max 1yr. I think an older daughter was named Charlotte aged about 12, and Im sure there will be other children in between Charlotte and George! Woolbeding in West Sussex Any help appreciated. Many thanks Sue

Couldn't find anything for John or Charlotte on ancestry - perhaps only partial censuses there. On Free census found this - perhaps a relation? 1891 Census 5 Records found Piece: RG12/795 Place: Lewes-Sussex Enumeration District: 2 Civil Parish: Ditchling Ecclesiastical Parish: Ditchling Folio: 22 Page: 11 Schedule: 72 Address: 7 Meadow Cottages -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Surname First name(s) Rel Status Sex Age Occupation Where Born Remarks FIGG John Head M M 41 General Labourer (Em'ee) Sussex - Keymer FIGG Margaret Wife M F 41 Scotland - County Elgin FIGG Christopher Son S M 6 Scholar Sussex - Burgess Hill I apologise if it's no good - my geography is lousy, especially from half a world away!

Thank you for all your help with this, they certainly are proving elusive! I wonder where they have gone to in 1871/1891 when they are definately there in 1881. Family comments are always that they came from Farnham, Surrey area, so I was surprised when I found them in Midhurst Sussex area. Then again, the areas are not that far apart and my grandmothers family bible was some fairy tales with some facts!! She even forgot where/when her own children were born! Thanks again Sue
