Oh wow Sandra you have been busy, thank you so much and apologies for not coming back to this topic earlier!  I thought I had notifications set up but I didn't so I didn't realise I had all these new replies!  That's definitely my Wesley and Arthur, and probably Joe as well as they had a brother called Joseph.

Thank you so so much for all this new info, makes for interesting reading.  These are the first ancestors I've come across that have emigrated

Thank you!

Wesley and Arthur were both born in Broughton, Lancs.  Arthur was born in 1880 not 1881, I got the date wrong!

Hi to help out in 1851 ref HO107/1963/242/25 Charles is the classic Farm Labourer, just wonder in 1841 if he was in the Army?

I did wonder if he might perhaps have been in the Army but wasn't sure if there were any records I could search for that period.  His next child was born in 1842.

hi,  i have looked through for you but can't see them 1841  indistrict 9,10,11,12

Thanks.  I'm using the same site.  I have found Hannah (his wife) and daughter Emma living with Sarah Mortland (Moreland) at Cress Green, Eastington but no sign of Charles anywhere. Ah well another mystery!

Hi, I am having trouble finding someone in the 1841 census.  I have him in all other censuses from 1851 to 1891 (he died in 1895).  He married Hannah Ford in 1838 and his first child Emma was born in 1840.  I think I have found his wife and daughter but I can't find any trace of him anywhere.  He is Charles Moreland (possible mistranscribed as Mortland) born 1815 in Eastington, Gloucestershire.  Is there any way of checking the whole census return for Eastington?
