Wendy Report 4 Feb 2009 20:20

Tryiing to find: My 3 x Gt-Grandfather Joseph Hicks: born Liskeard, Cornwall c 1814. I think his spouse was called Ann. They had 4 children whilst living in Cornwall. Mary, (c1838) Joseph, (c 1841) William (c 1843) & Ann( c1845) (the latter being my ancestor). Can't find them on 1841 census, but by 1851 they have moved to Bradford Yorkshire. Can anyone help?
