1841 census lookup please- Westwood
« on: Friday 16 December 05 20:45 GMT (UK) »
I'm trying to get hold of the 1841 census return for Samuel Westwood, born abt 1827 in Harborne, if its available. In 1851 he's a Brassfounder and living at Greenfield road Harborne. Thats all I know on this person, which is why I could do with the 1841, I hope someone can help.
I look forward to any replies,
Merry xmas, Benn.
Westwood. Johnson. Webbon. Duffy. Street. Turner. Haycock. McGlynn. Cogan. Reavey.

Hello Benn

I've checked the 1841 for Harborne (HO 107 980) and found a great number of Westwoods, mostly nailers, but no Samuel.

Right by Greenfields Rd, on a street called Terrace, is the following family:

Mary Westwood 75 NBS
George Westwood 25 lab BS
Joseph Westwood 25 nailer BS
Eliza Westwood 5 NBS
Isaac Westwood 20 lab BS

(BS=born Staffs, NBS=not born Staffs)

Ages were rounded in 1841, so 75 could be anywhere between 75 and 79.

Do you have any further information about Samuel which could help?
