1861 Census look up please

[Kazlee]

Hi,

Is anyone up for a challenge?  I'd love to find the following on the 1861 census, so far he's eluded me.

William Taylor born abt. in the Astley, Shrewsbury area of Shropshire. On the 1851 census he was 23, still single and living with his parents William & Elizabeth in Haughmond, nr. Shrewsbury.  On the 61 census his parents are in Hadnall, Shropshire, and William is no longer living with them, so he's poss. married with a young family.

I know this one's going to be a toughie, they'll be loads of William Taylor's, but if anyone's willing to have a search around for me, I'd be very grateful.

Thanks
Kaz

It might help if you gave us his occupation in 1851

That's a possibility, unfortunately I didn't note his occupation on the 1851 census, so I can't compare it. I'll note down these details and do a bit of further investigating.

Thanks for you help Nessie and Pam, I really appreciate it.

Hello
I did have a look at the 51 census  to see if it was same as the 61 census  before I posted.
There was no occupation listed for him the father was a gardener.

Thanks Pam, that explains why I did note an occupation, I thought it was an oversight on my part, but it makes sense now.

Yes, you're right the William you found is the father of the William I was looking for.
