Title: 1841 Census Look-Up Please for Bath, Somersetshire
Post by: SarahJaneCasey on Friday 10 February 06 05:50 GMT (UK)
I have found a birth for a Charles Richard Williams, born 1837, birth registered in the sub-district of Abbey at Bath, Somersetshire.  I do not know who Charles' parents were.  Could a kind person tell me if Charles if recorded on the 1841 census as living in the Bath area.  He would have been aged about 3 years old in 1841.  I think Charles may have married my husband's great-grandfather's sister here in Australia in 1858. Thank you in anticipation.  Sarah Jane

Hi and a welcome to Rootschat.

There is only one Charles listed in 1841 in Bath at the right age, however, it would be advisable to verify that this is the correct one.

1841

All born in county

Charles Williams, age 30, jeweller? (occupation is very hard to read)
Caroline Williams, age 30, straw bonnet maker
Charles Williams, age 3
Laura Williams, age 7
Eliza Williams, age 5
Clara Williams, age 1

Philip Street
Parish of St James, Bath

The registrars district is The Abbey

HO 107 0969
folio 1/22
page 37

Dear Nicky
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my query.  I am still trying to reconcile The Charles Williams in the 1841 census with the same fellow who married in Australia in 1858.
