1841 & 1851 Census Lookup REQUEST PLEASE
« on: Sunday 21 November 04 12:21 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for a William James Penney (Penny) whose birth is listed on his Tasmanian marriage certificate as TAUNTON SOMERSET aprox 1839 with parents David and Ann Penny.
I have not been able to locate a birth registration as the name is quite common and I have not been able to be more specific with the district.
I believe my William was a sailor who jumped ship in Tasmania.
I wonder if anyone is able to find him as a youngster in Taunton with his parents on a census please?
I hope I have provided enough information.


Much Appreciation
Robyn

Hi Robyn,

I checked the 1851 census of Taunton for all PENNEY / PENNY listings and could not find any William , David or Ann, sorry.

Cheers
Geoff
