	Yes that's the 1841 census that I'm looking at I also found that marriage in 1825 and a burial in June 1833 in Newbury for a Mary Finch aged 36 so thought that George was a widower when he married Jane Windebank

	Thanks alviegal, Yes George's parents, I was just after the actual date. I'm now trying to find the surname of Mary for this marriage in Westminster Marriages: Edward Morris + Mary ? 1805 St Clement Danes Middlesex As no name is given would it be possible to look at the actual image (if available) to see if it looks anything like Vaux
