1841 Census: Benjamin Wright
« on: Thursday 08 February 07 18:04 GMT (UK) »
Hallo,
having trouble finding the right Benjamin Wright on the 1841 Census.
Have him in 1851, b. c. 1801 with his wife Jane b. c. 1820/21 (Floore, Northamptonshire) and son John.
Have Jane in 1841 with her family in Floore, Northamptonshire.
In all other Census Benjamin is with the family and is a railway labourer.

Have found one or two that would match in 1841, but the occupation is wrong, and he is married to someone else with 3/4 children.
Have looked both in Yorkshire and Northamptonshire (maybe he went there and met his wife!)

Or - does anyone think he may have lost his entire first family and married a second time.  Can't find a marriage for him and Jane at the moment either.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks, Vivien
