Find Ancestors

I can't find anything other than the 1851 census for this person. He is on the 1851 census with his grandparents Francis and Elizabeth Downs and their son Francis, and is named as son, but when you look on original census is grandson. Lewis was born in 1848 in Bury St Edmunds Suffolk but living in Troston Suffolk. I can't find out anything more. If anyone can help that would be most kind. Thank you.

Maybe it doesn.t say Lewis, as name?

Possibly a child of one of Francis and Elizabeth Downs other children?


1841 census shows a Lucy Downs aged 15.

There isnt one registered in the time frame 1847--1849 in Suffolk,Norfolk or BsE.

Think you might have an idea about Lewis being a Baxter, as Nathaniel married Eliza Downs first then she died and think married Lucy her sister. Thank you all for your help.
