Census 1841 & 1851 - William Whittow

[old birkonian]

The death of a Wm Whittow is recorded in the England and Wales Civil BMD records for 1859 Qtr July - Sept with a Pembroke ref.

I am trying to establish whether this William is related to my Great Grandfather who was born around 1841 in Pembrokeshire.  However, his father, according to the marriage cert. was James, a farmer.

Nevertheless any census data re. William Whittow would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Thanks for the gen, Chairlady.  Since my Great Grandfather was a tailor by trade and whose wife was Martha Gullam from St Ishmaels it seems I may be on the right track.  Happy New Year!

To follow Chairlady's 1851 Census information of the location of Hook, I have a record of a George Whittow, gentleman of Hook, Pembrokeshire, who was a trustee along with a John Hitchings of Boulston and John Evans of Treffgarn of an 1831 Will version of David Rees of Dredgmans Hill farm. Although it records friends, I am open to researching possible brother-in-laws of Rees. It is highly possible all four were farmers of reasonable plots.
