1851 census Wellington - lookup request
« on: Thursday 20 January 05 13:16 GMT (UK) »
Could anyone please help me locate this family? I believe they may have been living in the Wellington area in 1851, as they had a child born there shortly afterwards.

I'm looking for:

Henry Matthews - would have been around 28, born Ballinasloe, Co Galway
Catherine Matthews - aged around 27, born Hanley Green, Staffordshire

Their daughter Annie was probably born the following year, but there might well have been older siblings. I would also be interested in any other possible family members.

In a later census, Henry's occupation was described as 'traveller', while Catherine was a servant.

Any help gratefully received!

All the best,

Steve
