1841 census look up please
« on: Thursday 13 January 05 00:54 GMT (UK) »
Hi
Would it be possible for someone to do a look up for a Theresa Main aged about 7 years, born in Bushey Heath.

Unfortunately I don't have any information on her parents.

It's a long shot but I'm hoping she is in the Watford/ Bushey area somewhere.

Gratefull for any help.

Hi Maddie

I cannot find Bushey or Bushey Heath listed on the 1841 Hertfordshire Census Place Index. As it is part of Watford nowadays, I checked all the Watford enumeration districts to see if it was included, but sadly I couldn't find it.

Sorry
Rick :(

I have found Bushey in the Index!  But unfortunately, the disc it is on is missing!  I will have a good look for it and get back to you:)

Hi Maddie

I could not find any MAINS living at Bushey or Bushey Heath in 1841. 

Sorry

Hi Rick

Thank you very much for trying to find my Mains. Theresa is staying as elusive as ever.

 Could I ask you, if when you are going through the 1841 would you be kind enough to keep your eyes open for any Main or Mayne in the Watford area. I would appreciate any clues however small.

Once again, thanks for your time.

I will be happy to look through Watford in 1841 for you, but as it was a large town and the 41 is not indexed, it might take some time.

Hi Maddie

These are the only MAIN/MAYNES that I could find living at Watford in 1841.  The 1841 census does not give relationships within families, or place of birth.  Adult ages tend to be rounded to the nearest 5.

No sign of Theresa I'm afraid.

Rick :)

Hi Rick

Many thanks for the info. It might give me something to go on. At least I can check these families out & see where they may lead.

Kind Regards
