This is a long shot, but I'm running out of options.

I'm trying to find any information relating to Henry Ricketts, born in around 1816 in Gloucestershire. The first trace I have of him is the 1851 census (attached for reference). It appears to suggest that 2 of his children were born in France in the 1840s - could this have been connected to a Coastguard or Revenue Service position, possibly in the Channel Islands? His wife (no trace of a marriage has ever been discovered, so they may not actually have been married) was not French and her family has been researched very thoroughly by me and others.

One of the 'French' children died in childbirth, the other gave his place of birth as Maidstone on later census returns. Just for the record, all Maidstone avenues have been explored...

Thank you,
Henry
