1851/1861 censii - WALLS
« on: Monday 29 December 08 11:46 GMT (UK) »
Hi

I would be grateful if someone could look up Henry and Maria Walls no DOB known and their daughter Sarah Ann born 1851 sons James 1853, Walter 1855 and Harry (Henry) 1862. Sarah was born in Whissonsett.

By 1871 they had moved to Lancashire but I would like to know more about the family if possible.

Thank you

Hmm....maybe. I know they were married in 1848 so that may be right if Henry was elsewhere. Could you look on the earlier census if possible please for Henry and Maria (Wilmerson)?

Thanks

I wonder why, is it far fom where they are living? Also could that be Maria's sister Wilmerson rather than Williamson who is staying with her?
Thank you for the 1841 list, I now know his parents.

I'm thinking Wilmerson and Williamson may be one and the same (snap! - quite clearly Williamson on the 1851 and 1841 image) - remember an Abel Wilmerson marrying at the same time as Maria?

HO107/778/25 5 4
Stanfield, Norfolk

John Williamson, 42?, Ag lab
Hannah, 45
Thos, 24, Ag lab
Betsy, 20
Able, 17
John, 15?
Maria, 12
Marian, 10
Fuller (male), 8
Samuel, 6

All born in county
