1861 + 1851 census - leighton buzzard lookup
« on: Monday 03 January 05 20:38 GMT (UK) »
Im looking to trace a family in the 1861 AND 1851 census
they were at 159 southcott, Leighton buzzard RG10 1560 in the 1881 + 1871 census:
they should read as below in the 1861 census

John Jelley aged 47 Born in southcott
Mary ann jelley aged 46 born in Leighton buzzard
Jane Jelley aged 5
emmanuel Jelley aged 17

They were spelt as Jelly in all previous census even though it is spelt jelley normally.

thanks for looking

Only have access to 1851 in local library.

Southcourt, Linslade.

John Jelley, Head, M, 37, Rail Lab, Bow Brickhill, Bks
Mary A Jelley, Wife, 36, St/Plaiter, Winslow, Bks
Sarah Jelley, dau, 13, Scholar, Fenny Stratford, Bks
Emanuel Jelley, son, 7, Scholar, Linslade, Bks
Mary A Jelley, dau, 4, Linslade, Bks
Eliza Jelley, dau, 1, Linslade, Bucks

Will try for 1861 when at CRO but cannot say when.

1861
RG9/1006/96B
Southcott, Linslade, Bucks
John Jelly head marr 47 railway lab b Bow Brickhill, Bucks
Mary Ann Jelly wife 46 plaiter b Winslow Bucks
Sarah Jelly dau 13 plaiter b Fenny Stratford Bucks
Eliza Jelly dau 12 plaiter b Linslade Bucks
Emma Jelly dau 9 plaiter b Linslade
Jane Jelly dau 6 scholar b Linslade
Henry Jelly son 5 scholar b Linslade

I hope I have the right family as I can find no trace of John having been born in Southcott, nor of Mary Ann being born in Leighton Buzzard. In both the 1871 and 1881 their places of birth are exactly as stated in the 1861, and they are still living in the parish of Linslade (not Leighton Buzzard).
