Could I please request a lookup for the following family from 1841 or 1851 census:

Information below given for 1841:

John SANDS (possible occupations - farmer, innkeeper, toll collector)
Janet SANDS (nee MORRISON)

children:
Margaret SANDS (chr. 1812 Govan - marr. 1837 Alex TURNER, Paisley Abbey + Gorbals)
Jean SANDS (born c.1819 - marr. 1840 Wm McINDOE, Barony + Govan)
Janet SANDS (born c.1821 Abbey RENF - marr. 1843 Alex LECKIE, Paisely High Church + Gorbals)
Elizabeth SANDS (born Inclissnoce (??) RENF - marr. 1843 John SMELLIE, Paisley Abbey + Govan)
Mary SANDS (born c.1824 - marr. 1845 John MUIR, Gorbals)
Annie SANDS
Robert SANDS (born c.1826 Paisley RENF - marr. 1852 Janet SCOTT, Liverpool ENG)
John SANDS (born c.1830)
William SANDS (born c.1837 RENF)

I have included above, all the information I have which might help identify the family, or give an indication of their whereabouts. Most of the information is as presented in the IGI, but much of it has been supported directly or indirectly from other sources. The locations given after the marriage are those provided in the IGI (sometimes two different locations are provided - not sure why).

I expect that most of the children will be absent from John and Janet's household, but the purpose of this enquiry is really to try to find out something definitive about the parents, of whom I know almost nothing. I would also be especially interested in information on the sons Robert (my ancestor), William, and John, who emigrated to Australia in 1853.

Any information on this family would be greatly appreciated,

Kindest regards,

Could I please request a lookup of the 1841 census for a woman named Sarah TINSLEY.

There was a Sarah ROWNEY who married a William TINSLEY in Thurleigh BEDS in 1806. I would like to try to determine whether this Sarah was one of my ancestors or not. They had a daughter Mary who was born in 1806.

My ancestor was a Sarah MOORE (born c.1774) of Wilshamstead (Wilstead) BEDS who married George ROWNEY in Southill BEDS in 1795. They have one child (John) in Wilshamstead, then seem to disappear. I suspect that George may have died and wonder whether Sarah might have remarried in 1806. She would have been around 67 years old if she were still alive in 1841. I know that her son John ROWNEY settled at Whitwick Green, near Thurleigh, and already have his census data from 1841.

Somebody who looks like the following would be very welcome:

Sarah TINSLEY (M) or (W) aged 65 born BEDS

Any other ROWNEY's present in Thurleigh would also be of great interest.

Many thanks for any assistance,
Regards,

Hello,

I would be very grateful if somebody could check for my gggg-grandfather Bartholomew LINCH in the London census of 1851. He would have been around 57 years of age at that time and is believed to have been christened at Saint Katherine Creechurch, in London. His wife Frances (probably Fanny) would have been around 53 years old if still living. She was christened in Shoreditch.

ie.
Bartholomew LINCH aged 57 born London
Fanny LINCH aged 53 born London

I suspect Bart himself died in 1859 in the Wandsworth District, in Surrey, and I believe that at least one (and possibly two) of his sons, William Robert LINCH (and maybe a Thomas), were living in Hope Street, Battersea, in the 1861 census. William was married in the Camberwell District, possibly at Peckham, in 1848, and William's first son was born in Battersea in 1850, so if Bart happened to be living near William he would probably be found in one of these two general areas (Wandsworth or Camberwell Districts in Surrey).

Any help would be much appreciated,
Thank you kindly,

Marc Roberts

Could I please request a lookup from the 1841 census for the following family:-

Henry GOULD aged 57, born Bickleigh DEV (near Plymouth)
Elizabeth GOULD aged 56, born Whitchurch DEV
Eliza GOULD aged 14, born Plymouth

They were living at 16 Higher Street, Plymouth Charles Martyr, in the 1851 census, and are believed to have had a shop in Higher Street in 1812. So I am hoping they might have been around the same address in 1841.

In the 1851 census, Henry and Eliza's son, Henry (jr), was recorded as a separate household at the same address (16 Higher Street) as his parents. In 1841 his family might have contained the following people:-

Henry GOULD aged 27, born Plymouth DEV, coal porter
Sarah GOULD aged 24, born Lustleigh DEV
possibly Richard Henry aged 0, born Plymouth DEV around 1841

There is a strong possibility that Henry and Elizabeth GOULD had a number of additional children. It would be very nice if some of these were suggested from the 1841 census returns.

Any census information on the GOULD family in Higher Street, Plymouth Charles, from 1841 would be of great interest.

Many thanks,
Marc Roberts
