1841 census look up please
« on: Thursday 05 January 06 13:06 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone.
I am looking for Edward Corbett in 1841 I don't  know his birth year.  I do know he was married to Mary born 1803 in Wellington they may have had a daughter called Elizabeth born 1831 in Wellington. I also know their son Thomas b.1843 was born at Tenbury.
Regards
Lyn.

Hi Lyn

Have found an Edward Corbett married to Mary with child Eliza BUT he was 55, Mary was 45, both to nearest 5 years and Eliza was 17.

They were living in St Johns Street in Wellington

Hi Mike
Thank you for searching for Edward Corbett . It is quite possible this is the Edward I am looking for, in my experience you cannot rely on the ages being correct. Mary was living with her son Thomas at 5 St John Street in 1871,  it looks as though they moved around quite a bit in the 30 years.
Many thanks
Lyn.
