HOLLESLEY, SUFFOLK - '51 CENSUS PLEASE!!!!

UPDATE: received LOADS of help from Chris today so I am just looking for the 1851 census for Hollesley, Suffolk. Has anyone get access to that PLEASE? Trina ................................................................. I'd be SO grateful if anyone out there has access to the 1841, 1851 and 1861 census covering the village of Hollesley, Suffolk. I am looking for John Sharman in 1841 and both him and his wife Dinah (nee Topple) in 1851 and 1861. I have them in 1871, 1881, 1891 and then John in 1901 census. John and Dinah married in St Mary Woodbridge, Suffolk in 1845. John's given birth place is Sudbourne, Suffolk and Dinah's is Woodbridge, Suffolk. John is listed in every census I have (and on a marriage certificate for his son Walter) as a Shoemaker and he was born I believe in 1820, probably the son of William and Jane Sharman. Dinah I believe was born in 1818 and was the daughter of Isaac and Dinah Topple (nee Turner). I would love to get these 3 census records to help me fill in those missing years and find out who their siblings/parents were. ANY help anyone can give me would be much appreciated - a big THANK YOU in anticipation. Cheers - Trina

Just wanted to say a Public Thank you to Chris for finding my Sharman family in the 1861 and 1841 census, with the bonus information on some family deaths too. THANKS SO MUCH, CHRIS. Just gotta find the family in 1851 and I'll really feel like this family is licked! Trina
