1841 census look up please
« on: Thursday 30 April 09 19:33 UTC (UK) »
Hi,
This is a bit of a long shot, but can anyone find William Downes on the 1841 census.  He was born in Holdgate, Shropshire in 1806 and that's all I know, so I know there's not much there to go on, but hopefully it's worth a try.
Thanks
Kaz

I think it will be the one in Munslow as the rest of the family are around there.
