Can anyone help me please. I have been researching the Butson family in Braunton, and am stuck at Prudence Butson being born in 1850. She was born in a workhouse, and her mother was called Mary. No father is listed, and no other family either. Does a 1841 or 1831 copy of the devon census exist, and would anyone be prepared to have a look for me please
many thanks,
Juliepen

There is no 1831 of any benefit as anything earlier that 1841 is only a number count. There is a 1841 but I dont have it. Here she is in 1851. Would wonder what the relationship was between Prudence and these people

Dear Kris, Many thanks for looking, but I had got this far. I don't know who these Vicarys are, possibly just babysitters, though I strive to find any link at all. Also unsure how this family of Butson fits in in the grand scheme of things.
Speak soon.
