1861 Census Lookup - Burford
« on: Friday 29 October 04 19:34 BST (UK) »
Hi,

could someone please do me a lookup of the 1861 census please.

James Rose (born about 1823) and wife Hannah (born about 1821).  Hopefully should also feature son James W Rose who should be no more than two years old.

They ought to be at Harp Fields Farm Burford.

Thanks

Dave

Hi Dave,

I’ve checked the records in Ludlow library and discovered the following:

At Harpfields
James Rose (snr)-Head-Aged 77-Farmer of 180 acres
Ann Rose-Wife-Aged 72-Farmers wife
James Rose-Son-Aged 35-Farmer
Hannah Rose-Wife-Aged 36-Farmers wife
James W. Rose-Son-Aged 10M
Thomas Reynolds-G/Son-Aged 12-Scholar
George Clayton-G/Son-Aged 11-Scholar
Edward Reynolds-visitor-Aged 48-invalid
PLUS 6 Servants

The fiche and fiche readers are not the best and so this particular record is difficult to decipher - sorry!

James snr is farmer of 180 acres and something else involving the number 2 that I can’t read
The surnames Reynolds and Clayton are my best guesses

Place of births also present problems:
James snr appears to be Worcs, Leamington
Ann-Staffs, town appears to end ‘ton’
James-Salop, Burford
Hannah-Herefordshire, town unreadable
James W-Salop, Burford
Thomas-Shropshire
George-London
Edward-Salop

If you want me to double-check anything, pls let me know.

Hi John,

that's great - thank-you.  I'm really grateful for all the trouble you must have gone to to look this up for me.  It's much appreciated.

I need to dig out all the docs for that side of the family so I can cross-reference with what we've already got - but at first glance everything you've found seems to tally.

Thanks again - you might just have made my great-aunt's Christmas!
