1841 Census Look up Stone
« on: Sunday 18 December 05 15:35 GMT (UK) »
Please can anyone help me? 

I am looking for the Whittingham family on the 1841 census.

Thomas would have been 18.  I am not sure if he was married to his wife by then, Elizabeth Hopkins (22).  I'm thinking they may have been living with their own families.

Anyone alble to look into this?

I checked the 1841 census for the township of Stone (the parish of Stone is considerably larger) and right on the last page I found the following family:

Mill Lane, Stone (HO 107 995)
James Whittingham 45 carter BS
Ann 40 BS
George 20 shoe m BS
Ann 15 BS
Mary 10 BS
Wiliam 8 BS

(BS=born Staffs)

Ages were rounded in 1841, so 45 means between 45 and 49.  40 is between 40 and 44.

No sign of Thomas or any Hopkins - although parts of this census are so faint it's difficult to read.

Do you have any further information about Thomas or his wife?
