1841 lookup please - WOODRUFF
« on: Saturday 28 June 08 19:36 BST (UK) »

Hi!

Could somebody please check the 1841 census for William H Woodruff born in Shottisham, Suffolk, in about 1822. I need the household please as I have no idea who his parents were.

In advance, thank you for your help.

Hi Steph,

There are two possible Williams in Suffolk, one born 1818 Wangford and one 823 Woodbridge, and as Woodbridge is near Shottisham this may be the one:

HO107 piece 1028 folio 17 page 26
Sun Lane, Woodbridge
Sarah  WOODRUFF 60  Ind.
William       "           20  Mariner
Susan MAYHEW     20  D. M.
all born Suffolk

Not much to go on, although if your William is the one married to Susan in later census he was a carpenter/joiner.  Do you have his marriage certificate to show his father's name and occupation?

Thank you very much Barbara. I don't know whether he was a mariner, I need to check with my cousin as it is more his branch of the family but thanks a lot for your time and help!  Smiley

Yes I can see the William H married to a Susan in the later census, carpenter, so if you can find the marriage, then at least you'd know his father's name.  Another William I found in 1841 was a bricklayer. 

If your friend has one of the children's birth certs showing Susan's maiden name, that would help to find the marriage, (can't see one at the moment), and then that should show both their fathers' names and occupations.

Oh, have just found another possible, the one I mentioned earlier in Wangford
having looked at the image, he is a carpenter!

1841 HO107 piece 1039 folio 21 page 2
The Score, North Gate, Beccles, Wangford, Suffolk
WOODROFFE
Thomas  48  Builder  Suffolk
Sarah     46               not b. Suffolk
William   23  Carpenter  b. Suffolk

will try to find these parents in 1851
Kind regards, Barbara  Smiley

No, sorry, in 1851 he is still with parents and is William Wright Woodroffe born Beccles.

Perhaps the first one I gave you still fits, perhaps he left the sea to become a carpenter when he married!

Will wait to hear more from you
