1841 Census look up request -berks

[lifes too short]

Can anyone spare a moment to look up the 1841 census for Berkshire. I am trying to find out more info on a Ann-Maria Pointer who is showing on later census's as being born in Old Blenham ? Berks in 1834 approx. I know from her marriage certificate that her father was Charles Pointer. Any help would be very much appreciated.

I can't find Ann Maria in any census - can you give details of where you have found her - it might help with tracking backwards.   

I've also look at the 1851 Berkshire census and there is no Charles POINTER listed (or indeed Ann Maria) as I thought this may give a clue to birthplace.

Hi

I have found  Ann Maria White (married name) on the 1881,1871 and 1861 census. The 1861 address is 23 Great College St, westminster where she is shown with James x 2 and Henry. I also have a copy of the marriage certificate(Lambeth) dated 1856 which shows maiden name as Ann Maria Pointer and father as Charles Pointer. A birth certificate of her youngest child also shows Pointer as the maiden name. That is the furthest I have been able to go back. The three censuses she is shown on state Berkshire as place of birth and the 1861 seems to read Old Blenham but I don't recognise this place unless its Beenham.

Thanks

Clare,

I've had a look at 1851 for Ann Maria and Charles, but can't find any leads.

I did wonder whether the birthplace was "Benham" so have looked at 1841 for Marsh Benham and Hoe Benham, but have been unable to find them.    As you say, it's possible that the birthplace is Beenham, so I'll take a look.

Clare,

I've looked at the 1841 census for Beenham, there are a few pages that are very difficult to read, but I cannot see either Charles or Ann Maria.

Sorry

Hi Harry

Thanks for your help. Will just have to visit the records office sometime and see what I can find.

Thanks again
