William Woolridge - 1861 census

[MikeWoolridge]

I would be grateful for any information about William Woolridge who was born in 1842 at Baswich, Stafford. His parents were Thomas and Mary Woolridge.

Hi Mike

Did he have a couple of sisters - Eliza & Emma?

There is an entry on 1861 census at Seighford for a William Woolrich (sic) aged 18 from Brockton, a general servant on a farm.  The entry appears to show 2 female servants after him with ditto for surname ie also Woolrich.

1861 census, Seighford - Doxey
RG 9/ 1905 folio 39 pg 1

Household of William & John Mann - farmers of 213 acres employing 4 lab & 2 boys

William Woolrich; serv; 18; unm; general servant; Staffs Brockton
Eliza do; serv; unm; 19; general servant; Staffs, Bradley
Emma do; serv; 16; general servant; Staffs, Church Eaton

Don't know if this fits with what you already know 

Regards

I havent found an Eliza but he did have sister Emma though on 1851 census she was 5 years older than William. I dont think its the right William.

But thanks

Mike
