That is wonderful you found them in 1841.
Yes that looks like her,Lynski, Isabella, was a Surprise, did not know about her.

Some of the children were Christened at Holy Trinity Dartford, and others in different places and quite often when they were older. Just to make it harder to work out their birth dates. Of course they have had their ages rounded in the Census but am able to sort them out.
Many thanks for your help Lynski

Would be most grateful if any kind person could find my x Great Grandparents in the 1841 and 1851 Census.I tried a couple of years ago with out any success.

William Wright b, c1796 London/Kent? and Ann Whitsey b,1797 Dartford, Kent
They were Married in Dartford in 1818 and had at least 8 children I know of. In 1841, I know they were not in Dartford but would have still been somewhere in the greater London area.

In 1844 they were living In Bermondsey according to the Marriage entry for their Son William. And in 1856 when Ann died she was buried in the Nunhead Cemetery, Southwark.

Children they had, that might have been living with them could include Ellen, Benjamin, William, Ann, Agatha, Adelaide and Edward.

Warning!!!! Wrights in London are as common as Smiths, hence my Comment in the Subject above.

Hoping something in theses Censuses might point to a birth year range smaller than the one I presently have and a more defined place of Birth as unable to go any further back on William Wright..

Will be most Grateful for any help.
Thank you Kiwibird <3
