The only William I find born around that time, is on the 1841 census, in Eastwood (which is a village some miles north of Nottingham) father Samual, mother Ann and it looks like William has a twin named Robert.

1851 has William age 20 bn Ilkeston, Derbyshire still with parents Samuel /Anne in Eastwood - Brother Robert age 20 born same place.  That William is still in Eastwood 1861 with wife Ellen

Thanks! I followed up and agree. What is odd though is that there is an Ann Blount at a wedding in Ilkeston with a "William" (no surname found) who by then is a "Cordwainer" (i.e. profession of Robert) that made me suspicious if somehow linked but perhaps not.. Seems to be a lot of Blounts in that area!

Welcome to rootschat

Roberts occupation on Williams marriage is Cordwainer (Shoe maker)

Thanks so much. I had seen the word as "C O R D W A I S" and wouldn't have even known or heard of the word "Cordwainer" until your reply so would never have got it!

Nottinghamshire / William and/or Robert BLOUNT
« on: Tuesday 13 March 18 13:52 GMT (UK)  »
Hi - I seem to have come to a bit of dead end on trying to trace some ancestry for a WILLIAM BLOUNT "of Nottingham"

I have in Hull on the census as follows

1881 ("March 30"- census) - Age 55 - Hatter - from Nottingham
1871 ("April 2" - census) - Age 42 - Hatter - from Nottingham
1869 ("March 11" - wedding) - Age 40 - Father is "Robert" (cant quite make out profession of father sadly)
1861 ("April 7" - census) - Age 36 - Hatter - from Nottingham

However I don't seem to be able to find any sort of match in 1841 and 1851. I have also tried "Blant" and "Blunt"
I also don't seem to be able to see a "Robert" for those sort of timescales listed as Father on wedding document. I don't have a birth date for him and because of this if son (William) was born in 1825-1829 (given changes of age above) I am just taking a while stab at "1795-1810" at the moment

Any Nottingham help/guidance would be appreciated.
Cheers
