Hounsom Family in Shropshire
« on: Wednesday 27 July 05 12:11 BST (UK) »
I am looking for my family pre-1861. My GGgrandfather Henry Hounsom was born at Tong in 1848. He had older siblings also born at Tong and younger half-siblings born Tong and then later Wednesbury (Staffs).

The head of the family was Abraham Hounsom. Hoping they appear on the 1851 or 1841 census. The name is often mistranscribed as Honnsom, Hownsom and other strange variations.

Thanks

Hi Helen,

This is from the 1851 census

Norton, Tong

Abraham Hounsom, H, M, 31, Farmer of 56 acres, 1 ag lab, Middlesex London
Emma, W, M, 32, Salop Tong
Jane, Daur, 9, Salop Tong
George, Son, 4, Tong
Henry, Son, 2, Tong
Susan, Daur, 7mths, Tong

There is another entry for this family, but the image I have has been cropped so I cannot see it. I have a feeling that it is details of a servant though.
