1841 CENSUS, SHENLEY, HERTS

[Fliss]

Can anyone look for HOWARD family units please? Shenley was only a small village so it shouldn't be too long a search. Heads of households MIGHT include John & Ann / Thomas & Ann
If you would kindly list all family units, ages, occups etc I'd be really very grateful.

Here are the HOWARDS that I could find in Shenley in 1841.  The 1841 does not give relationships nor place of birth.  Adult ages tend to be rounded to nearest 5.

Thank you - I'm slowly making headway on these HOWARD's.
I hestitate to ask but do you have access to the 1851 Shenley census - I won't ask for any other!

No worries.........there is no rationing on rootchat!

I am afraid that I do not have the 1851 for Shenley, but I have checked the 1861.  I think that I have found George HOWARD (son of Thomas, aged 15 in 41) but, it is a bit of an odd entry.  There is no head of household, but George is described as a son.  The previous household is that of a Foster MC GEACHY & his wife Clara, so I do not think that there is a link there, but I have transcribed it, just in case.

1861 Census. RG9/787 Folio 30b

The Rookery, Shenley

HOWARD George, Son, Unm, 34, Plumber & Painter, b Shenley
HOWARD Mary A, Dau, Unm, 40, Housekeeper, b Hudnal, Bucks
PALMER Emma, Dau, Widow, 28, b Shenley
HOWARD Letitia, Grandau, Unm. 22. Milliner, b Shenley
PALMER James, Grandson, 8, Scholar, b Shenley
HOWARD George, Grandson, 6, Scholar, b Shenley
HOWARD Henry, Grandson, 4, Scholar, b Shenley
SCHREIBER Caroline, Visitor, Mar, 35, b Shenley

This is the preceding entry.

Folio 30a

Shenley Hill.

MCGREACHY Foster, Head, Mar, 69, Justice of Peace & Landholder. b Glostershire (sic)
Clara, Wife, 43, b Shenley
+ 6 Servants.

There is the usual 2 strikes across the page to indicate that this household has finished, and then George's entry begins.  Very odd.  I suppose that Clara might be Caroline remarried?

I also found.

Folio 40b

London Road, Shenley Hill.

HOWARD
Thomas, Head, Mar, 30, Painter & Glazier, b Shenley
Mary A, Wife, 38, b Shenley

Folio 48a

Alice, Dau, 3months, b Shenley

Unfortunately Shenley is not included in the Herts 1851 census set - I think it must have been included in Middlesex for census purposes in 1851.

BIG thanks!  Much appreciate it! It all helps to build up the bigger picture.
