On the 1851 cenus,

Henry MILES states he was born Blakeney, Woodside - and occupation: Sawyer

Looking for any MILES around the area nearer Henry's birth :

The Miles appear to be Non-conformist - but also go by the surnames MOYLES

Looking at Family Search : this couple had Sons: Joseph & John - and must have had a daughter i.e. on the 1851 census he has Robert CROOMER his Grandson with him.

? There is a Henry MILES witnessing two wedding in Newland - 27 and 28 November 1787 : John REED to Mary DREW and Philip YOUNG to Sarah BUTLER - not sure if its 'your' Henry
