1851 Census lookup - Somerset
« on: Wednesday 08 September 04 13:34 BST (UK) »
Hi, Can someone look up the 1851 Somerset Census to find a Licensed Victualler called James Welsh. Not sure exactly where in Somerset, but can anyone help?
He may have had a son aged 14 called Frederick Welsh.
Thanks.
Welsh - London/Monmouthshire/Wiltshire
Evans - Croydon/Berkshire
Rycraft - Croydon/Northants/Cambs
Davies - Glamorgan/Cardigan
Wigton - St Lukes, London
Chalker - London/Devon/Somerset

The only JAMES WELSH that is involved in the liquor trade is the following

HO. 107/1836
James WELSH,  Innkeeper, aged 54yrs, born in Shirenewton, Monmouthshire.
Ann,  aged 52yrs, born Shirenewton, Monmouthshire.
William, aged 32yrs, born     "                     "
Edwin, aged 21yrs,  born      "                    "

The only Frederick WELSH is 6 years old and his father's name is John they live Farrington Gurney, Somerset.

Hope he's the one your after.

Cheers
Geoff

Hi Carole,

The only Thomas WHITE in South Petherton is the following.

Thomas WHITE, 45, Labourer, South Petherton
Mary                   44,                     "          "
John                   13                        "        "
Robert                 7                          "        "
Joseph                4                         "          "

Maybe his wife was Mary Jane ?

There is no Robert White in South Petherton.

Cheers
Geoff
