  • Cenus help with DENNIS REEVE, please.

    Can anyone find Dennis in census, please?

    Dennis Reeve, bp Horningtoft, Norfolk 5 Apr 1829.

    In 1841 census Dennis (recorded as 15) was in Horningtoft with his father and two siblings.

    Last mention of him was when his grandfather dictated his will in 1848 and listed Dennis Reeve, grandson, as one of the beneficiaries.

    I can't find a death 1847 to 1851, but can't find Dennis in 1851 census either.

    (He's NOT the one in Shoreditch in 1851 as that one has a sister Elizabeth, AND is a bookseller's assistant - I would expect mine to be illiterate!)

    I'm having no luck with him in 1851, but I wonder if he could be the Dennis Reeve whose death was registered Jun 1862 Swaffham?

      On Ancestry there's a Dennis Reeve on the New York immigration records. Bound for West Canada from Liverpool:
      5 Oct 1857
      Dennis Reeve aged 29 and wife Sarah aged 26.

      Then going back to BMDs I found a marriage of Dennis Reeve to a Sarah Spurn.
      Oct-Dec 1853 Mitford, Norfolk, 4b 843
      May be worth looking at.

        Thank you Kite.

        I had seen that one, but that would probably be the Dennis Reeve who was in Ickburgh in 1861, aged 78?? Ickburgh is in Swaffham Reg Dist.

          Oh, keldon, thank you.

          That sounds a possibility, as I have not found ANY likely death. I did see that marriage and couldn't trace it forwards in census - that COULD be why!

          Will try to do a bit more digging on that one.

            Sorry, I've just noticed that another marriage appears on that reference with a first name of Mary. Just so you know in case it's Dennis / Mary marriage.
