1851 Census Lookup Please - LINNEY

[RichardK]

Is anyone able to look at the 1851 census for Leighton Buzzard and see if there's a couple Thomas and Mary Linney there please?  In 1841 they were both 45 and at America Place and Thomas was a 'Rail Rd Lab'.  They don't appear to be there in 1861.

Many thanks
Richard.

They don't appear to be there in 1861.

They may have died by 1861. From FreeBMD there are death index entries in Leighton Buzzard RD

Thomas Linney  Apr-June 1854  vol 3b  page 2_2

Mary Linney       Oct-Dec 1859    vol 3b  page 275

Many thanks for your help Past Master and John.

I think Mary's probably given her accurate age in 1851 - I believe she was Mary Tring, baptised 11 Feb 1787 - she must have over-done the rounding in the 1841 census.  Thomas I think was baptised 16 Sep 1787, so should have said 50 in 1841 and 63 in 1851, but clearly had little idea how old he was.  James next door appears with them in the 1841 census, but I haven't found a baptism for him and as 1841 doesn't given relationships I can't be certain if he was a son or other relation.

Many thanks.
Richard.
