Hi Hutch,
this one looks promising, a John, a Jane and a Sarah IRONSIDE in Charminster in 1841:
Charminster Hill; John; IRONSIDE; 40; Shoe.M; Yes
; Jane; IRONSIDE; 40; ; Yes
; William; IRONSIDE; 15; ; Yes
; Susan; IRONSIDE; 13; ; Yes
; Sarah; IRONSIDE; 6; ; Yes
Sarah's age looks right, but place of birth is only Dorset = Yes !
Do you know if her father John was a Shoemaker ? (my guess for Shoe.M)
Found them on the Dorset OPC site
http://www.dorset-opc.com see also:
http://www.dorset-opc.com/Charminster.htmThey also have the 1861 census for Charminster, where I found :
50; ; IRONSIDES; John; Head; Mar; 66; Shoemaker ; Dorchester; Folio24Page 9
50; ; IRONSIDES; Jane; Wife; Mar; 66; ; Dorchester; Folio24Page 9
But the children are away !
They don't have the 1851 census there, unfortunately
On the other hand, in Castleton in 1841, I found another John and Jane, but no Sarah ??
Three generations maybe ??
Castleton; Ralph; ?IRONSIDE; 70; Ag Lab; Yes; Folio 3 page 1 (John's Father ?(
; Martha; ?IRONSIDE; 63; ; Yes; Folio 3 page 1 (and Mother ?)
; John; ?IRONSIDE; 32; ; Yes; Folio 3 page 1 (Head ?)
; Jane; ?IRONSIDE; 30; ; Yes; Folio 3 page 1 (Wife ?)
; Robert; ?IRONSIDE; 4; ; Yes; Folio 4 page 2 (Son ?)
; Mary ; ?IRONSIDE; 1; ; Yes; Folio 4 page 2 (Daughter ?)
Quite a lot of IRONSIDEs on the Dorset OPC site, so have a "root and rummage", if you know a few more names, you may find some matches.
Hope this helps
Bob
