1841 Census - SIMPKIN / Rebecca

[Annie65115]

and in 1851, Rebecca's daughter Ann's birthplace was also Woodhouse.

Did the enumerator perhaps get Ann's name wrong in 1851?

It seems to point to that Annie.

Just looking in Woodhouse,  William and Rebecca parents but early 1800's

Looks like Elizabeth married 1860 but again reg. office

1841 must be them, found this marriage

hi team

Thanks for you reply's and hard work.

So yeah.... I'm beginning to wonder if Ann on the 1851 is Amy too.  Last night I found that Amy baptised in 1837 wondered if it was a late baptism.  I think good chance the census collector got it wrong because William and Rebecca baptised an Ann in 1808 at Woodhouse and I haven't found a death.  Big age gap though, baptism's in 1804, 1805, 1808, and then 1837.  Even if 1837 was a late baptism and Amy/Ann was born in 1831 as per the 1851, her mother Rebecca would of been 52ish!  As per the 1841 Amy/Ann would be born c1827 but Elizabeth would be born c1832.  I will look for a baptism.

Fanny Wooley and children were a second household in the same house as Rebecca in 1841.

If Fanny's m/n was Simpkin, there's obviously a possible link.

I am not sure which Simpkin Child you are descended from but looked at a couple of Trees with Thomas on them, Wife, Harriet.

Marriage;
1 May 1836, St. Mary in the Elms, Woodhouse
Thomas SIMPKIN to Harriet SQUIRE

1841 his age is out (should be 35)
Thomas Simpkin, 25
Harriet Simpkin, 25
Mary Ann Simpkin, 4
George Simpkin, 2

1851 George is a Servant in the Abell Household and in 1861 in Lincolnshire.
1871 he is married to a Martha, and he is born c 1841, 1881 c 1844

They had no Children.

Joseph William Simpkin aged 3 of Montague Place is buried at Welford Road Cemetery in the same grave as Rebecca Simpkin aged 74, also of Montague Place (both died in 1851). 

Joseph William Simpkin's birth was registered in the first quarter of 1848, although I cant find a baptism for him.  It would be interesting to see whether his mother is named as Amy.

Another Joseph William Simpkin was baptised 21 Jan 1846 at St George, the son of William Simpkin, bricklayer, and Elizabeth.   William also gives his PoB as Woodhouse Eaves, although in 1851 he is enumerated as Thomas
