Title: 1861 Shropshire Census Look up please
Post by: Kazlee on Sunday 21 August 05 23:46 BST (UK)

Hi,

This is a long shot really, but I'm trying to find a couple who were witnesses to a family marriage, to see if the lady is the sister of the bride, and details from this census may help to establish this.

The couple are John and Ann Trow. If I am right, Ann will be born abt. 1810 in Holdgate, Shropshire.  I do not have any other details, so I know this look up will not be easy.

Thanks to anyone willing to have a try.

Hi
The only Ann Trow with husband John I have found as yet are:

Ann 1811 b. Shrawley Worcestershire
John 1814
living in Kidderminster, Worcs

and

Ann 1816 bron Stroud Gloucestershire
John 1813
(with children)
living in Gloucestershire

Either sound likely?

Thanks for looking Julie, but I don't think they are the ones.  Like I said it was a long shot really, one or both of them may even have died before 1861.

Thanks again.

Hi Kazlee

I have looked up Ann Trow's on NBI and come up with the following:

Burials

5 Dec 1827 age 23 St. Peter Wolverhampton
10 June 1827 age 82 St. Mary Stottesdon Salop
18 Nove 1828 age 28 St. Martin Birmingham
25 Feb 1831 age 13 mths St. Martin Birmingham
20 Aug 1833 age 75 St. Mary the Virgin Stone Worcs
1 Jan 1837 age 50 St. Mary Shrawley Worcs
8 Sept 1829 age 24 Holy Trinity Much Wenlock

On the 1861 census

RG9/2078 Ed 12 Folio 107 page 20
12 Lion Street, Kidderminster
John Trow Head Widower age 64 Carpenter journeyman (born difficult to read, Ancestry has it down as Stosksdon Shropshire...it also looks like Stodesdon, Modesdon, Nodesdon..neither of which I can find on the map)
Annie Trow dau unmarried age 27 Seamstress Claverly Shropshire

the interesting bit ...
NBI Burial
20 Sept 1843 Anne Trow 47 St. Mary Kidderminster


None of these might be the right one, but thought they might be helpful. 

Also on the 1861 census is:

RG9/1860 Ed2d Folio 27 page 1

John Trow Head Widower 70 Lime burner Much Wenlock Shrop
John Trevor lodger mar 70 Ag Lab Much Wenlock
Margaret Trevor lodger wife 60 Greatness Shrops

Kind regards
Su

Thanks for the look up on Ann Trow, unfortunately, none of the BI relate to mine, as she was a witness to a wedding in 1845, and all the deaths you found are defore this date.

Thanks again, I really appreciate it.
