I'm trying to find two families in this area in 1841 but don't have access to the census for Notts. Please could someone with access to this census have a look and see if they can find them for me?

There are three villages where both these families are likely to have lived in 1841:

Thorney HO107/862 book 11 folio 1-7
Broadholme HO107/862 book 12 folio 1-4
Wigsley HO107/862 book 13 folio 1-4

The Hall family in 1841 they would most likely be composed of:

George HALL, 48, Ag Lab, born Thorney
Sarah HALL, 45, born Little Markham
William HALL, 18,born Thorney
Jane HALL, 18, born Wigsley/Thorney
George HALL, 16, born Thorney
Ann HALL, 13, born Thorney
Betsey HALL, 2, born Thorney

Of this family, I'm interested in Jane who went on to marry Joseph SMITH in 1849 whose family possibly consisted of:

William SMITH, labourer, possibly around 50yo
(wifes name unknown)
Joseph SMITH, poss servent or Ag Lab, age 18, born South Carlton, Lincs
+ other children as yet unknown.
 
I'm stuck on these, especially the Smiths as all I know of Joseph's family is from his marriage certificate in 1849 where his father is listed as William, so any information would be fantastic.

Thanks,
Adam

If anyone has access to the 1841 census for Blackley, Manchester, I'd be very grateful if you could you look up two families for me:

Thomas KERSHAW born 1821 (20yo in 1841, tho he may be listed as 25). I believe his father might be Peter born 1801, but I'm in no way convinced of this.

The other family is for Ann JACKSON b1822. I'm pretty sure her parents were Ambrose and Esther born around 1794. Ann had many siblings including Charles b1838, Catharine b1833, James b1827, and Eliza b1826.

I'm struggling with these two families so any information I can get would be fantastic.

Thanks,

I am trying to find records of Joseph SMITH born in the village of South Carlton in 1827.

The last record (which someone from this site very kindly found for me) was in 1861 where he was living in Brampton with his wife Jane and children.

As the eldest child I have recorded was born in 1852. It's possible Joseph was unmarried in 1851, and hopefully in 1841 was still living with his parents.

In 1861 the family goes:
Brampton Grange in 1861 - 2411/39

Joseph 38 Farm Bailiff b South Carlton
Jane 38 b Wigsley, Notts
Abram 10 b Broadholme
Sarah 5 b Brampton
William 3 b Brampton
Lucy 1 b Brampton

The youngest child, Abraham may or may not have been born by 1851. Abraham was born in Broadholme, so Joseph may have been there in 1851. The family would like this is 1851 if Joseph was married:

Joseph SMITH, head, age 28, born South Carlton
Jane SMITH, wife, age 28, born Wigsley
Abraham SMITH, son, age >1, Broadholme/Brampton

It may be though that Joseph was still living with his parents (whom I don't know the names of).

In 1841 Joseph may still be in South Carlton age of 18, possibly with his parents, likely working as an Agricultural Labourer.

If anyone can help me with this I would be very grateful.

Thanks,

Please could someone have a look at the 1861 census at Saxilby, Broadholme or Brampton for Abraham SMITH, with his father Joseph SMITH.

Abraham is listed variously in the 1871 / 81 / 91 and 1901 census's as being born in Saxilby / Broadholme and Brampton, although in 1871 he was living in Finningley.

In 1861, Abraham would be 9 or 10 and his father was Joseph. Joseph in 1871 was listed as a Farm Baliff.

I know it's not much to go on but with the surname Smith I need all the help I can get!

Thanks,
Adam
