Hi Marilyn,
thanks for highlighting the % method to me !
Clearly being a "bloke" I didn't need to read the "tips" very well.....

Once again I learn from this great furum; Kezia/Keziah is another name I've never heard of but clearly quite common in the PRs.

Sue, if at first you don't get the "right" results when searching I suggest you look for all possible spelling variations of the name. It's quite likely that errors will have occurred during the various Census returns & PRs, eg "Kezia" may possibly give different search "hits" to Keziah, etc. Hopefully not but better to be sure.

As MPG has said please supply any known relevant family names etc to aid the search.
Do you have her marriage or burial details, please ? I guess not but even small clues can help.

There are trees on Ancestry (mentioned before Daniel DANGERFIELD STANLEY - born Chilbolten)

and the links give him on various census, including the 1861 Census, in Hampshire, and he is a Basket Maker - with family of Hawkers, some born in Portsmouth Hants.

Probably the marriage 'Chris' found would prove decisive.
