1841 census
« on: Tuesday 13 March 07 19:57 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone help me i have searched and searched for a George Watson born between 1815-1816 occupation Cooper. George married an Elizabeth Newell(born 1819) on the 15 march 1841 in Leeds addresses given as Nelson street and Vicar lane. Goerges father is a Joseph watson occupation cooper.
George dies on the 4 sept 1849 in Bunt street Holbeck age 33. I have searched 1841 ancestry but cannot find him anywhere.
Is there a website that includes searches by occupation.
Can anyone help me find George i am very desperate now!
Cheers Reedy

I can't find them in Yorkshire either.
There is a couple in Liverpool both aged 20 (rounded down?), no occupation given — could they have moved there to look for work?
Do you have names of witnesses on the Marriage cert— do they match any of these? A very long shot but you said you were desperate!
         
1841 census RG   HO107/ 559/19\16/ 26         
Address:   Circus Street, Liverpool

WATSON, George       M   20   not born in lancs
WATSON, Elizabeth    F   20   not born in Lancs   
Staying with:
CORBISHLEY, John & Elizabeth
LIONS, Robert & Mary   
MCCANN, Ann, CARTY, Mary   
HUGHES, Francess & Mary

I can't find any others who match the circumstances you have stated. I don't know of a search engine for 1841 that lets you search occupations — mine (find my past) doesn't for this year, but you can look at originals.

Thanks for the lookup they did have a daughter born in Ashton lancashire in 1843 so they may have moved about. The names of the witnesses where John Hudson and RH Pickard.
