Looking for Census Records in England

The Kenningtons seemed to be missing from the 1851 Census Records - couldn't find them anywhere and tried several variations until I happened upon "Hennington." And there they were!

Seems that either the informant had a heavy accent" 'ennington" or the recorder was a little hard of hearing. Maybe Mary Ann, who was likely the informant, had a thick accent. Would it be Scottish or English??

I was wondering if you have a picture of Richard and Mary Ann Kennington? My email: lynasliz@hotmail.com

Yes, we do have a copy of the pictures from Ira Kennington. Let me do a little looking and we'll load them on. Kathy
