Jason, what do you mean by original Census? The images on Ancestry are photographic images of the original. There is no other version that would show more

Hi
When I looked up the 1841 Census info it said 'view original' but this wouldn't open for me. All I could get was a typed version which listed the names of the people but didn't say where they were born, which is what I wanted. Once i know where they were born, it will make the search easier. Can you view the original census entry?

The 1841 only shows whether a person was born in county or not, with no place information. The image shows all born in Middlesex except Mary

Theophilus' marriage (and subsequent baptisms of children) shows his full name to be Theophilus Francis. There's a baptism that might be him

Theophilas Frances Smith [as per Ancestry transcription]
Born 17 April 1821
Baptism 18 Apr 1824, Teddington St Mary
Father  Thomas Smith, writing master
Mother    Mary Ann Smith

Just to confirm later censuses have Theophilus as born c1822  so the gap between Marion Wilson and him isn;t a close as was being worried abuot ealrier.

Found Theodore in 1851 - got very excited as Ancestry transcribe his relationship as step brother in law, so had thoughts of finding more links. However the image says "shopman"!

Teddington!. That could help. Yes Mabel it looks like there were too marriages, the first to a Willson before 1811 and the 2nd to Thomas Smith, after 1811 but probably before 1812.

MABEL THAT IS BRILLIANT! Do you think Theophilus' dates for birth and baptism are correct, being 3years and 1 day apart?  Now if I can find the 1st marriage I will have the mother's maiden name?
