1841 and 51 census look up
« on: Sunday 30 April 06 15:39 BST (UK) »
Hi All,

Can anyone see a George Lowther (spelling varies) in the 1841 and 1851 census.
Area of birth is Faceby, North Yorks.
Wife was called Maitha Mathen Martha...(dont ask, its what the igi says!)

Many Thanks,

Colleen

Any idea of age?    Have you found him in a later census?   Kids?  How do you know his place of birth?   I had a quick look but there are too many to check all of them.

Oh
I have just looked on the IGI and found one member submitted entry giving a place of birth as Faceby in 1825.  These cannot be trusted and especially not this one as his death is given as 1823 in USA - before he was born!!
You need to look at the original parish records to confirm this for yourself.
