1851 Census lookup please - COMPLETED THANKS
« on: Monday 28 May 07 12:42 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for the 1851 census for Thomas Holbrook, born in Winsham Somerset, aged about 29, and in 1861 worked as a mason.
He was married to Elizabeth Holbrook, born in Thornecombe, Dorset, aged about 33.
They would have had a daughter, Mary A Holbrook, born in Winsham Somerset, aged about 7.
In 1861 they were living at Church Street, Winsham.
I hope someone can help.
Thanks,
Benn.

Pleased to have helped Benn - when you get stumped like that (esp. in a small place) just leave out the surname and use forename and age - scan the hits for something close or unusual  ;)
