Missing from the Workington 1841 Census?

[Relsearcher]

Hi!  I'm having a bit of an irritating time trying to find a person in the 1841 Census in Workington, Cumberland.  I assume that is where he is as and I have found him in subsequent census returns quite easily. 

His name was Isaiah Gilliead - but both of these names have numerous spellings I have discovered by looking through the records over the years! 

He was born c1820 in Workington.  He married Margaret Roney/Ronney in 1843 in Workington.  He was a Coal Miner.  His father was called Edward and I have found him in the 1841 Census in Workington, aged 45.  This would mean he was born c1796 which would mean his son Isaiah would be right to be born c1820.  However, I have come across an Isaiah Gilead, Mariner in the Workington 1841 return but he has the age of 40 which would mean he was born roughly 20 years earlier than my Isaiah.  I know that ages were rounded down in the 1841 Census so this means this man could be even older.  Maybe this Isaiah was a brother of Edward, and therefore my Isaiah's uncle?

Can anyone spot what I am missing?

Many thanks, Nina

The Isaiah Gilead aged 40 years in 1841 married a Margaret Scrugham  St. John'S, Workington, Cumberland 6 November 1842 - the 1841 census shows him living with the Scrugham (transcribed as Laugham on anc)  family on the 1841 census.
His father was Benjamin Gilead according to England, Select Marriages, 1538–1973.

Thanks Sandra - I've been trying to link him as an Uncle - what do you think?

The baptism for Edward Gilead 10 June 1792 Saint Michael,Workington gives father as Benjamin and mother Jane.  So its possible the other Isaiah is the son of Benjamin and an Uncle.
There was a Benjamin Gilead baptised Saint Michael,Workington 6 June 1790 - parents Benjamin and Jane Gilead.  That could be the Benjamin who passed away 24 March 1862 Workington aged 72 years so born 1790.

Is this the marriage for Edward Gilead to Jane Daley - 7 July 1817 Workington

Have you found any sign of my Isaiah born c1820?  He must be somewhere!!!  I still cannot see him anywhere ...

No sign of your Isaiah - could he have been a mariner at that time    Both Whitehaven and Workington were very busy sea-ports    Or is he just "lost" in transcription 
Benjamin Gilead born 1790 appears on the 1851 census - Curwen Street Workington - Benjamin - widowed - bookbinder - lodger with Mary Scott also widowed. Don't see him in earlier census.  Could have been badly mis-transcribed I suppose

 I guess he could have started off as a mariner but he quickly became a coal miner for the rest of his life ... so typical the person I want to find has got 'lost' somewhere at that time!  Thanks for all your help! Nina
