1841 census request - James Corbett
« on: Sunday 29 January 06 01:02 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

Hoping that someone might be able to lookup a James Corbett (b 1781, kingswinford) and wife Sarah (nothing more known). James was a widow on the 1851 census and was a Farmer of 230 acres at Prestwood, Nr Kinver. Would be great if any other Corbetts around there too - in particular John Corbett (1804) and wife Letitia and children (at either Kinver or Prestwood judging from known children), and William Corbett (1807).

Thanks for any help.

Nettle.

Hi, thanks very much for that. That must be James' brother i think and now i have another 4 children compared to the 1851 census!

Would you perhaps be able to have another look for John and Letitia please - if they are not in Prestwood then they should be in Kinver.

Thanks for your help.
