1861 census lookup
« on: Monday 13 February 06 23:36 GMT (UK) »
:) Hi,
         I am looking for the location of William Wright born about 1820 at Wellingboro' Northants' he is married to Ann born about 1819 at Rushden, Northants they should be in the Boston area as they had a son, Charles born Boston about 1858. There are older sons in the family. All help appreciated.

Hi Melm,

Had a quick look and I think your William is living as a lodger with the Mitchell family in Gosberton, Lincs. He is shown as married but no sign of his family???

He is a brick maker and also shown as deaf - is this he?

Hello Again,

Think I have now found Ann and the rest of the family in Boston...there is a 3 yr old Charles, so looks like the "right" family :)

Hi Martin,
               William's occupation was Brickmaker, I didn't know he was deaf but  there has been hearing problems in the Wright family even up to the present day. I would much appreciate all details of both the household where he is staying and also his wifes. Many thanks in anticipation.
