I have been researching my family tree on A*****y for a college project with a free trial I found off Facebook.
My free trial has just ended, just as I started to get into the interesting bit.
I was told by a relative that my grt, grt, grandfather was called Samuel Noble Blake. After a bit of search, I found his name was actually Noble Samuel Blake. Only a slight difference, but once I changed it I suddenly found a large tree containing many of my ancestors leading from Noble. I collected enough names to fulfill the quota given by the teacher, but before I could research the people themselves my trial ended.
So heres my request. The most notable person I found was Samuel Druce (and his wife Hannah Nalder, but lets not complicate things). Uploaded onto the tree was a painting of him (and one of Hannah on her profile). I can only assume this shows he was a man of some importance.
He was born September 1787, and died 18th July 1860. Both events occured in Eynsham, Oxfordshire. His parents were Joseph Druce (1745-1821) and Mary Kerry (1751-1828). He married his wife Hannah (1793-1870) on 12 October 1811 in Northmoor, Oxfordshire.
I would love it if someone could please search the census records from 1801-1851, and find out what he worked as during his life, and the exact names of his children (the ones on the tree seem a bit iffy).
Thats so much for reading in the first place guys =] I know it was a bizarrely long post

Hi Lee
Could this be him? It looks like an upmarket hotel as the others are of varying professions. No Hannah

James Druce is listed as both being born and dying in 1821. Im guessing there was some sort of complication. He probably then didn't have a baptism.
I'm just trying to think about him appearing twice... Is it likely he lived in Oxfordshire but stayed in London at certain times of the year for work of some sort?
But would they put both occurences on the census? and why is his age different for both?

Hi Lee
Appearing twice is not unusual as the family probably said he lived there even though he was away duriing the previous evening, which is what they were asked by the enumerator.
Ages do appear differently.
Firstly, some people didn't really know how old they were so just guessed.
Secondly, in the 1941 census ages were either rounded up or down to the nearest '5' for adults. That is if you were 43 you'd be rounded up to 45 and if you were 42 you'd be rounded down to 40.
Thirdly, women tended to lose years as they got older.  Not much changes
