1841 Census Lookup-Morville?
« on: Wednesday 30 November 05 19:18 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for an 1841 census that includes both or either of the following Overtons: I am assuming Moville might be one area to look as a
John Overton was born there.

- I am looking for a John Overton @age 12 in 1841 - ag lab.
- Also looking for a William Overton - age unknown but guessing @30 - labourer.  Wm was John's father.

Thank you for any help!

only one Overton in Morville

Looks like he is attached to farm as most of them are either M.S or F.S as occupation

F.S. is definitely farm servant.I could take a stab at M.S as Man servant but dont know for sure.
No family.Seems to be on his own.Will have a little look at the surrounding areas tomorrow.

I wonder if this would be the William I am interested in - especially if there is no other family in the area.  I would assume families would live together? or at least nearby?
Maybe I should look elsewhere, other than Morville.
