1851 census - MOUNSEY

[suemuffy]

I am looking for a Thomas Harrison Mounsey born in either Westmorland or Cumberland and married to Jane (maiden name probably Stanley).  His daughter Mary Elizabeth was born in 1855 and baptised at Ambleside and a later daughter was born in Liverpool but baptised at Keswick.
I have no DOB but his wife was born in 1830/1 at Keswick.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks

Hi Sue,
this is not what you are looking for but there may be a clue somewhere (I know it looks very complex from you other posts)

Ann Clark Mother in Law widow 72 yrs annuitant b Cumberland Warnel Fell

Joseph was I suppose old enough to father a child in 1855 but there may be a Thomas out there.

Hi heywood,

Thanks, Thomas was definitely the father of Mary and Jessie but there may be a link.  I am looking for any clues at the moment as I cannot find birth, marriage or death records for him, even changing the spelling to Mouncey, Mouncy etc.  
Second post looks promising............

Do you have his occupation from birth certificate?

1851 has two possibilities

HO107; Piece: 1501; Folio: 86; Page: 40

b 1829 Askham living Islington Middlesex- a post office clerk

and

HO107; Piece: 2441; Folio: 106; Page: 14
Troutbeck
Thomas Mounsey 23 yrs head unmarried tailor with journey man b Patterdale

[heywood]

mind you these seem to turn up in 1861 both with wives Jane but not your daughters 

The one born Askham is in Durham and is a pattern maker- has a daughter Mary A b 1855

The other is Thomas H with a son Joseph H and is a tailor in Birmingham - so is not him either but the H is interesting.

Well done!!!

On LDS:
Thomas Mounsey Baptised 6/2/1828 at Martindale to John Mounsey and Jane also a Joseph Harrison Mounsey to the same parents in 1835.
Don't know why it didn't come up on a search.

Oops, another post, yes, possibly a tailor,,his wife was a dressmaker.
And another, oh, That's odd, his wife was widowed by 1861 but has a son by 1871, so I start to wonder???

Thank you heywood

Heywood  -    also,  Jane says in 1861 she was a widow - although William was born afterwards.... (see other thread)

so maybe the jane I found was the wrong jane  

[heywood]

oh Mum don't confuse me further 

1841 has two Thomas Mounseys born 1828 (ish with it being 1841) both in Barton parish.
1) The one already found with the Harrison connection

2) HO107; Piece 1162; Book: 7;  Folio:  ; Page: 1

Thomas Mounsey 13 yrs male servant

Kings Arms Inn Hartsop and Patterdale

Thomas the tailor is the 'H' one in 1861 and has been transcribed as b Barley but could read Barton on actual census.


I wonder if the Harrison is a family name and these two may be cousins??
