1841 census Swansea piece1426/04 Prothero(e)

[emilysiobhan]

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone has access to the 1841 census for Swansea and would be kind enough to look for Prothero(e)s there for me?

I am looking for my g.g.g. grandmother Sarah Protheroe who was born Swansea c. 1835

On family history online I found a possible match on Orange street Number 34 Piece1426/04 folio 12
with a mother Martha and siblings George, William and David.

Looking for Sarah's father Thomas Protheroe, a tailor I found one on Orange street but folio 13

I am wondering if they are maybe all one household that is split between the end of one folio and the beginning of the next?

I would be greatful if anyone could confirm/disprove this.

In 1851 Sarah  seems to be working as a servant seperate from her parents, so I'm a bit stuck with confirming who exactly her family is at the moment.

Thanks,

Emily

Hi Nigel,

Thanks for doing the lookup for me. You're right that it doesn't make it an awful lot clearer.

I'm really pretty hopeful that this Thomas Prothero could be Sarah's father, but they are never together on a single census and I'm not sure if Martha lived until 1851 as I didn't find a likely match there yet.

I'm kind of wondering if 65a Orange st, might be the tailors shop, but I don't know why he might have slept there rather than walking a couple of doors down the road.

Thanks again for your time,

Emily

Interested in Thomas Protheroe, who may have been born at Rosemarket, Pembrokeshire in 1814 to Thomas Prothero and Esther Powell married 26 Jan 1812 St. Mary's Haverfordwest; however, when Esther died in 1816, her abode was given as Bastleford, the known home area of Timothy Powell (d. 1814 Bastleford) and his wife Martha Rees (d. 1822 in H/West but buried in Rosemarket).
