• Name	Charles DOWNEY
  Birth	Abt 1821	Foxearth, Essex
  Gender	Male
  _UID	8A4DE44816204B9D93E8B80187CF5DCBD371
  Death	Yes, date unknown
  Notes	1861 census: in All Saints Sudbury, Suffolk (all DOWNEY), Charles (39, carpenter, born Foxearth, Essex), Catherine (33, born Sudbury), Susan E (9, scholar, born Sudbury), Harry (7, scholar, born Sudbury), Mary A (4, scholar, born Sudbury) and George (2, born Sudbury). 1871 census: at 1 Elliot Yard, All Saints Sudbury, Suffolk (all DOWNEY), Charles (48, carpenter, born Foxearth, Essex), Catherine (41, born Sudbury), Susan (19, housemaid, born Sudbury), Harry (17, whitesmith, born Sudbury), George (12, scholar, born Sudbury), Charles (8, scholar, born Sudbury) and Arthur (3, scholar, born Sudbury). Not found in 1881 - an end-to-end search of both the All Saints Sudbury districts (7 & 8) indicates that the Downey family must have moved away. In passing I noticed that 1, 2 and 3 Elliot Yard were unoccupied. No further trace of Charles and his wife has been found. Some of the children appear in later censuses - see their Notes.
