Title: 1841 census lookup please- Westwood
Post by: Benn2509 on Friday 16 December 05 20:45 GMT (UK)

I'm trying to get hold of the 1841 census return for Samuel Westwood, born abt 1827 in Harborne, if its available. In 1851 he's a Brassfounder and living at Greenfield road Harborne. Thats all I know on this person, which is why I could do with the 1841, I hope someone can help.
I look forward to any replies,
Merry xmas, Benn.

Hello Benn

I've checked the 1841 for Harborne (HO 107 980) and found a great number of Westwoods, mostly nailers, but no Samuel.

Right by Greenfields Rd, on a street called Terrace, is the following family:

Mary Westwood 75 NBS
George Westwood 25 lab BS
Joseph Westwood 25 nailer BS
Eliza Westwood 5 NBS
Isaac Westwood 20 lab BS

(BS=born Staffs, NBS=not born Staffs)

Ages were rounded in 1841, so 75 could be anywhere between 75 and 79.

Do you have any further information about Samuel which could help?
