Find Ancestors

Looks like 'Lab' to me as well

Hi Choccy ...

Having had a look at the actual census image now, I would very much like to have confirmation of William's occupation. I think it looks like "labourer" - do you think this is correct?

Thanks for any help.

Hi Maureen ...

Many thanks for your reply to my post - and also for sending me the census image by PM!

I've looked at my images on Ancestry again and, as you say, pages 11/12 and 13/14 have not been digitised.

I've been able to find the family on the image you sent me (it's always a lot easier when you know what you're looking for!) - they're approximately two-thirds of the way down the righthand page.

Thank you so much for your help in sorting this one out - I only confirmed a few days ago that William and Mary HILL were my 2xgreat-grandparents (after searching for them for about 2 years), so it's been great to find them on the earliest census!

I found them eventually on FMP

Penny,

Just sent you the image for the 1841. If you can read it then your eyesight must be amazing.

Ancestry has obviously skipped a few pages.

Look at:
1841 England Census about James Duyer
Name: James Duyer
Age: 3 Mo
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1841
Gender: Male
Where born: Middlesex, England

And go forward (next image ) from there. You can see where it happens.

Have done some further checking this evening, and found that Devonshire Place is included in Enumeration Districts 4 and 15 of St. Marylebone (Christchurch).

None of the individuals recorded above on Choccy's and Stuart's posts are included in the listings for Devonshire Place (I have also checked the numbering of the pages and none seem to be missing).

Please ... can anyone tell me how to find this family???

Penny

PS I'm using Ancestry's 1841 census.

I had the same trouble Penny

But can find page 15

Hi Choccy and Stuart ...

Many thanks for your replies - that definitely looks like the correct family!

Unfortunately, I can't seem to find that group of people (the SMITHs, COOKs and HILLs) on the 1841 census on Ancestry - even using the full reference.

Is there any other way I can locate them???

Penny

PS Going off for lunch now, then out for a couple of hours ... but will be back later on!

Is this your family?
