Census documents below to be replaced with John & Honor Hicks material

The 1841 Census finds Grace living with her sisters and next door to her eldest brother’s family in Goldsithney. The census does not indicate where in Goldsithney they were living but it is assumed to be the Gears (a small collection of homes found along Gears Lane) as this was where their mother was living at the time of her death in 1830.

The 1851 Census for Letcha appears to have errors in that it gives the name Mary when it should be Grace and the place of birth is given as St Just when it should have read Perranuthnoe for Grace.

John & Grace Hicks in the 1861 Census for Letcha, St Just in Penwith, Cornwall. Error in place of birth for Grace is given as St Just when it should read Perranuthnoe.
