	As John Wash was 38yrs.old on 1851 census I was wondering if he's been married before and, if this could be him in 1841:- Name: John Wash Age: 30 Estimated birth year: abt 1811 Gender: Male Where born: Essex, England Civil parish: Finchingfield Hundred: Hinckford County/Island: Essex Country: England Street Address: Occupation: Ag. Lab. Registration district: Braintree Sub-registration district: Finchingfield Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age John Wash 30 Harriot Wash 29 Josiah Wash 8 Emma Wash 6 Sarah Wash 3 Miram Wash 1 will check 1851! EDIT:- NO not same one:- 1851 John Wash 40 Elizabeth Wash 32 Josiah Wash 18 Mary Anne Wash 11 Ann Harvey 10 Ellen Harvey 8 John Harvey 6 Sarah Harvey 4 ...............but I'll leave it out so you can eliminate this one.
