Title: Richard Poole Dawley / Madeley / Malinslee
Post by: robP on Thursday 18 October 18 12:37 BST (UK)

Hi,

I am looking for an exact year / date of birth for Richard Poole.  I can't seem to pin him down as his year of birth differs according to various census records, for example in the 1871 census he was 64 which would have made his year of birth 1807 in 1881 he was 76 which would make it 1805 and in 1891 he was 90 which would make his year of birth 1801.  The only information I can reasonably rely on is the 1841 census where he was living with his mother Ann, whose age was down as 70.

Any help grateful received with thanks.

I'm not saying this is your man but there is a baptism in Broseley 4 March 1804 for a Richard Pool son of Thomas and Ann. Broseley is only a few miles from Dawley Magna.

Hi,

At the moment with his various ages at different census times I will take anything into consideration, so will look into that one.  Thanks for your help.

Maybe finding a death record might help?
