1841 look up request
« on: Monday 15 November 04 23:03 GMT (UK) »
can anyone help me with finding GEORGE SCARBOROUGH on the 1841 census?  All I know is that he was born in OADBY about 1818.  He was married to MARY BARNES but I don`t know if she came from this area as well or when they married.  Are there any other SCARBOROUGHS listed from Oadby on this census?
many thanks linda

Hi Linda

The 1841 census only states surname, forename, age, occupation and if born in the county or not. So there is no info on place of birth and also no index as yet. I had a look at Oadby on the 1841 census there was only one Scarbro listed there.

1841 Census Oadby
Henry King 40 ag lab yes
Elizabeth King 40 no
William Scarbro 14 yes

Here are some burials from Oadby.

OADBY   SCARBOROUGH   GEORGE   30   SEP   1825   59   
OADBY   SCARBOROUGH   ELIZABETH   27   MAY   1844   26   ABODE WIGSTON
OADBY   SCARBOROUGH   GEORGE   26   JUN   1845   35   ABODE WIGSTON


All the best
Linda

hi linda,
thanks for looking up the census and for the info you have given me.  It has given me a bit more to work on at least.  It seems that these names listed on the burials must have been related to my great great great grandfather george scarborough
thanks again
linda
