Thankyou Steve for giving us a challenge for this week.

Jennie I have an ancester Ambrose Stokes whom I have received help before via this forum but don't know if anyone else can help further.
I know that his DOB is 21/11/1845 in Brentford and his death is 23/4/1887 in Brentford. His father was Samuel Stokes and mother was Sarah Nixon. I have him on board HMS Icarus on the 1861 census aged 15 as a boy 2nd class. I also have him on the 1871 and 1881 censuses.
I wondered if anyone could find him on the 1851 census cannot find him at all. Also wondered if there would be any way to find navy records that far back. He looks like he joined the navy then became a Waterman and some forum users have managed to find his apprenticeship date when he began training as a waterman.
I know very little on his parents as Samuel is a common name whereas Ambrose is more ny help on his parents would also be great.
Basically any more information on Ambrose, his career, census information and also help with Samuel or Sarah.
Many thanks
Steven
