On the 1841 census he is living in Blakeney Hill.

John Halford 40 Mason
Ann 35
Lois 13
Nehemiah 9
John 4
There is also a George Halford 11, but I don't know how he fits in yet.

All born in county.
---------------------

I have just had a look at the 1851 and George is a son (obviously missed him out of the running order on the 1841!) Nehemiah is a Stone Mason (Labourer) and they are still on Blakeney Hill. All born 'East Dean'.

John's d.o.b. around 1803 and there is this possible baptism on the FoD site:

A bit confusing as John jnr married an Ann and his parents look to be John & Ann also.
