1851 census lookup please
« on: Thursday 30 November 06 12:25 GMT (UK) »
Now that the 1851 and 1861 census indexes are available on ancestry, could someone find my Elizabeth Henderson  born ca 1811 Alloa? She died in Alloa in 1861 so she's probably living in Alloa and might be living with her husband John born ca 1805.

Many thanks

Hi Jan

This looks like the most obvious entry. Elizabeth is showing as head so probably already a widow:

Elizabeth, 40, housekeeper, b. Alloa
John Henderson, 19, agr. lab., b. Alloa
Cathrine Henderson, 17, domestic duties, b. Alloa
Eliza Henderson, 15, domestic duties, b. Alloa

Address: Kirkgate, Alloa

Regards.

Monica

Hi Monica,

Many thanks for the lookup -that's the right family. Elizabeth's husband, John, was a sailor, so he could have been away from home on census night.

I know Elizabeth died in January 1861 so she won't show up in the next census.

Best wishes
Jan
