Thread: flaxen of cumnor

Hi Neil,

The following is the only listing in Cencus.



1861 Cencus

Charles Flexon Head 38 b.1823 Hinksey,Beds

Emma Flexon Wife 32 b1829 Hinksey,Beds



RG09 / 733/ 50 / 23

Address: South Hinksey,South Hinksey,Oxford,Berkshire



Maybe someone else can look up 1851 Cencus for you, as I don't have access to this.
