Dear all experienced searchers,
My 10 year old daughter is doing a project on Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
We have found him on the 1841 census as J K Brunel aged 35 - civil engineer.
He married on the 5th July 1836 to Mary Elizabeth Horsley - established a home in Duke street, westminster, london. They had children - Isambard junior, Henry Marc and Florence Mary.
He died on the 15th sept 1859.
She would like to find a census with the wife and family and we've had no luck .
please please could someone confirm if we have or haven't missed something.
We'd be very grateful.
Katie & G.

Dear all,
We have more information and leads than we thought possible.
Grace is off to bed now - and i'm going to be printing and sorting all this information for her so she can write it up tomorrow. (after the firework display ofcourse!)
Thankyou.
Katie & Grace

To all who helped my daughter with her school project.
Grace received a MERIT for her project, she was so thrilled with her mark.
This was always going to be a challenge for her as her passion is literature. She will write for hours about various authors and had no interest in Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
She had a slow start but once you all started helping her she was able to put together a brilliant project and learn about Brunel.
Grace would like to thank you all and we would like to wish you all a Happy Christmas and a healthy New Year.
Grace & Katie.

Congratulations Grace, very well done.
Have a great Christmas and the best of New Years.
