1841 Lookup for Hunt family Harpenden
« on: Wednesday 01 December 04 22:15 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to ascertain if William Hunt b c 1823 and Thomas Hunt b c 1829 are brothers.
On the 1851 Census there are living in Kinsborne Green
Richard Hunt   54 b Luton
Alice                55 b Harpenden
Thomas           22 b Harpenden

Also living in Kinsborne Green are
William Hunt    28 b Harpenden
Maria               27 b Luton
Frances             3 b Harpenden

Could someone please look up the 1841 census to see if William & Thomas are actually siblings ?    Very many thanks. :)

I think that the answer to your question is probably yes!  Here is the family in 1841.  The 41 census does not record relationships or birthplace.  Adult ages tend to be rounded to nearest 5, but the enumerator looks as though he has rounded everyones!

Thank you very much, Rick, for your swift reply.   You have helped me tremendously.   I could find the parents of Thomas, but was unable to find them for William.   Now all is clear !   Thanks again  ;D
