James Horspool 1841/51 Cenuse Look-ups please

[wwykes24]

The only information I have on James Horspool is that he was born circa 1810 in Heather, Leicestershire, he married a girl called Sarah Smith.  His parents were Robert and Sarah Horspool.

I found James and his family in 1851 indexed as Housepool. They were living in Front Street Billesdon. The writing was so bad I couldn't make out enough to be accurate. But here is the reference if someone else wants to have a try.

 I am pretty sure it is the family you are looking for as Robert the father was widowed and living with them.

Thanks Sarah for coming to the rescue

Thanks Sarah and Nessie, these are the right family.  I have managed to find some of the children, namely James, Jemima and Jane and two others who are possibles - Mary and Sarah who were born about 1834 and 1835 respectively.
