Charles and Sarah Powell - Walsall

[Erica McP]

I wondered if anyone could be so kind as to do a census check for me please?
My Ancestor Charles Powell (b. 1815 in Walsall) married Sarah (Not sure on maiden name or marriage date) and had 5 children - John (1836), Charles (1837), Thomas (1839), Emma (1841) and Mary (1845). From what i can find out i think Sarah died in 1847 and Charles married Louisa Hodgetts in 1849.
I am trying to find any census entries for 1841 and 1851 for Charles and his family, and also to see if there are any clues to Sarah's maiden name etc.
Thanks for all your help.
Regards, Erica.

Hi Erica, I think her maiden name is Rose. I was looking for that information as well, I believe they are the parents of my great great grandfather. Although I'm not a hundred percent sure, I'm fairly confident.

Cheers.
