1841 & 1851 look-up, Ralph Brown

[JenB]

Please could someone help me find Ralph Brown in 1841 and 1851?

He was born c. 1823, and in all later censuses gives his birthplace as Shotley Bridge.

In 1861 he was living at Baxton Burn in Benfieldside and his occupation was a wood sawyer.

Any help most appreciated.

1851 HO107/2389 Folio 248 page 51

George Brown Head Mar 53  Shoemaker emp 2 men  b Benfieldside
Margaret  wife 56 b Ebchester, Durham
John     son  33  Journeyman shoemaker b. Ebchester
Ralph    son  30      "                                 b. Benfieldside

These look interesting as two of Ralph's children are George and Margaret although he would seem to have changed jobs.
