I know I shouldn't be wasting me time looking for brothers and sisters but I would like to know what became of them. I'm either thick or just plain unlucky in finding them. I can't find any of them in the some of the census, I have tried various ways. Please could you help me find them in the census. They are: John Hysted born 1847 in Hatfield,Sussex (can't find in 1871, 1891 and 1901) Jane Hysted born 1849 in Hatfield, Sussex (can't find in 1881, 1891 and 1901) Mary Ann Hysted born 1851 in Marden, Kent (can't find in 1871, 1881, 1891 and 1901) Alfred Hysted born 1853 in Marden, Kent (can't find in 1871, 1881, 1891 and 1901) William Hysted born 1856 in Marden, Kent (can't find in 1881, 1891 and 1901) Emily/Emma Hysted born 1861 in Marden, Kent (can't find in 1891 and 1901) Frederick Hysted born 1867 in Marden, Kent (can't find in 1891 and 1901) Florence(Flora) born 1870 in Marden, Kent (can't find in 1881, 1891 and 1901). P. S. Hysted can be spelt Highstead, Histed etc.

1871 census- living in staplehurst east,kent rg10/999?district 8 also there is jane 20yrs,eliza 13 & charles 8yrs. 1881 census living in chart sutton,kent rg11/935 didtrict3 I will update if I find in 1891 & 1901 census.

Bear in mind that some of the females may have married and therefore be indexed under their married surname. nell

Thanks Heather, I found Eliza and Charles all the way up to 1901, they have been the easy ones to find. Luckily they are my great, great grandparents (Eliza and Charles' children married on another). Many thanks for helping me look. Fern.

I haven't had much luck in finding out wether they married and if so who they married. Fern.

Jacqueline, the 1881 can be found on familysearch.org its free to search. The others you have to pay for 1901 is on 1837online and I think the 1861 is there as well but I may be wrong. 1861 -1901 are on Ancestry.co.uk They are all pay per view. Hope this is what you wanted Jenny

Many, many thanks. Will look into these. Just think if this wasn't so hard sometimes it would all become a bit too boring. Fern.

Fern - I too have spent ages trying to find what happened to brothers and sisters, and some elude you for ages then suddenly turn up, some turn out to have died young, and some to have emigrated. It may well help if you can trace some family wills; I have found them invaluable. Kate.

Thanks Kate, I'll prob look into that, as I'm no futher into finding these people. Fern.

Hi I have found John Hysted in 1871 under Isted no wonder I couldn't find him. I have also found out he died in 1888. So I have found all I need to about him. Fern.
