1841 Census - Is it working?

[Rosemarie]

Hi

I'm finding it impossible to trace people in Rochford, Tenbury Wells on the 1841 Census. Have tried Herefordshire and Worcestershire but no joy with either. Does anybody know if the Tenbury area is actually included in this census?

Hi Marie

So far as I can see, Rochford was part of Herefordshire until 1844 when it was transferred to Worcestershire.

According to the description of the enumeration district, piece HO 107/430/21 comprises the whole of the parish of Rochford.  Bear in mind, of course, that Rochford was only one part of the Tenbury registration district.

Hope this helps

Thanks Dave

I've traced the family I was looking for, using the details you gave me but still can't find them by the usual method of searching. Don't know if they've been mistranscribed or some other error.
