1841 Census - SIMPKIN / Rebecca
« on: Wednesday 03 August 16 08:35 BST (UK) »
Hi team

I'm having trouble finding my Rebecca / Rebecka / Rebeckah SIMPKIN / SIMKIN on the 1841. 

On the 1851 she's in Leicester St. Mary as Rebecca SIMPKIN aged 72, widow, born - Diseworth, Leicestershire.  She's with a daughter Ann aged 20.... I'm not sure about the daughter part.... and Ann's son Joseph Simpkin, aged 3.  I thought Ann may be a grand daughter but the Ann that's obvious in 1841 is d/of John and I cant find Rebecca and husband William having a son named John.  Rebecca's maiden name is probably Adkin.

tia,

bitzar.

The only Ann Simpkin that I can see (of appropriate age) in 1841 is daughter of John and Mary in Barrow, and is still with her widowed mother Mary in 1851, so you can rule her out.

funnily enough Trish, I wrote about that family in my deleted post! I agree that "Amy" could possibly be "Ann" on the original image, but I'm not convinced ---

There is a baptism at St Margaret's St George (sorry!) on 38 Jun 1837 of Amy d/o William & Rebecca Simpkin.  William is a Labourer.

I cannot find this family anywhere in 1841 & wondered if it could be the same Amy as found by Trish but possibly a late baptism?

I wonder if anyone else has a transcript with more information, as mine has been found to have bits of information missing here & there.
