I wonder if anyone has a subscription to somewhere and would be willing to look at the 1851 census for me as I don't have enough credits left.

I have a transcription copy of the 1851 census for William Fallows, Harriett Fallows, Sarah, Lucy and John.


Harriett married my gt gt grandfather after her husband had died.

So I wondered if someone could look at the census original and see if it really says that he was 70 and she was 30 as this seems a very large age gap considering the youngest child on the census was 7 months and I know they had more their youngest being born in 1859, which would have made him in his mid 70's.

Thank you.

Thank you for looking I must say although I knew Harriett had been married before I just assumed he would have been around the same age as her and been unlucky in dying young.

Thank you very much and yes it is the one in Colton.

Some of what you have put is new information to me but will help build a picture of the past lives of my relatives.

Artbeat,

Thank you I have looked at it and that is one BIG age gap.
