I have come to a slight brick wall on a Henry Hole. He was born in 1843 in Wells, Somerset, so have not find him in 1851. He married in 1866 to Hester allen so have all the other census just missing that one

I have looked on findmypast and it is only showing one up being born in Westbury so i ruled him out.

Nothing else shows up on FamilySearch for 1851. Are you sure that he's not the one from Westbury? It's only a couple of miles from Wells.

Thank you john he could be as just relised that it is not unusual for birth places and dates to change so maybe i was a bit hasty in ruling him out

Given he is in the same place as 1861 I'd say son of William & Susan was a dead cert.

William died and in 1861 Susan has children listed Westbury until William 16, who is Wells. That is also true in 1851, but I don't think there is much doubt. After all in 1861 his birthplace is unknown. He is only 2 years older than William and Wells, Wookey and Westbury are all in the same registration district.
