We have ancestors who lived at 43 Carlton Row and others in my tree lived at No.4. Also we have someone who lived at 78 Carlton Hill. I wonder if Sue's grandparents were called Wilkins?
One of my Great Grandfathers, Adam Taylor lived at number 16 Carlton Row in 1871 with his wife Elizabeth Taylor (nee Russell) and at least seven of their children.
My great grandfather lived at 33 Carlton Row in 1902, what is the name of the road now? I'm going to Brighton next month and would like to see what is there now.

in 1926 my parents lived at 24 and 26 Carlton Row before they got married. They would have been 23 and 25. My dad's name was John commonly known as Newey, and my mum was Georgina, commonly known as Cherry Ellingford. Does anyone remember?
Henry and Elizabeth Washer resided at 38 Carlton Row (census 1881). They had four children: two boys and two daughters. I am researching my family tree, can any one help?
I don't understand - my ancestor Henry Lintott lived at 38 Carlton Row in 1851, yet he was a lawyer so I wouldn't imagine he would live in a slum! Is there possibly a different Carlton Row in Brighton somewhere ?

My Great, Great, Great Grandmother Hannah Page lived at 27 Carlton Row in 1861 aged 61. Her son was Samuel Page who was married to Ann Cook, my Great Great Grandmother and lived at 28 Carlton Row. Samuel & Ann Page had 3 children, one being Sarah Hannah Page who was to become my Great Grandmother who we think was born at 28 Carlton Row. At the age of 18 in 1868 she married William Manser who was to become my Great Grandfather. Sadly William died in 1882 aged 34 whilst living with Sarah at 3 Carlton Row. One of Sarah and William's sons Henry Frederick was to become my Grandfather who I never knew as he was killed during the First World War. However his wife Ada Amelia Potiphar was pregnant at the time of his death. Her son was to become my Father Albert Ernest Manser. I hope this is of some help to someone.
My Great Grandmother was born at Number 50 Carlton Row. One of five children in the William Pullen family. They lived there in the 1850s-1870s (not sure on dates).
In the 1891 census my ancesters are down as living at number 24 Carlton Row, Brighton. Their surname was Hibbs - John, Kate, Emma, John, Ellen and Jesse. Although I have birthdates I cannot find any record of any birth certificates. Can anyone help?
My GGG Grandfather Robert Johnson lived at Number 5 according to the 1841, 1851 and 1861 census. Wife Mary and children George, Albert, Mary, William, Susan and Rebecca.
My great grandfather was called John Mitchell and came from a fishing family and lived at 16 Carlton Row.
