1841 census

[deoxy]

Could anyone find my g g g grandfather William Fricknell (or Frecknall) possibly in Worksop in 1841. It's the only census he is in because he died in Islington in 1848. He was married to Elizabeth Nelson. She was born in Sutton cum Duckmanton, Derbyshire in about 1802. They had Hannah, Worksop 1833, George, Worksop 1835 and William, Worksop 1836. Their next son is born in Southwell after 1841.  William, the head of the family was a cordwainer(shoemaker). I don't know where or when he was born.  I'm hoping that someone can find the family and I'll be able to find out at last. Any help would be much appreciated.

I am looking but think you have posted this in the wrong county. Should be in Nottinghamshire.

Thanks very much. That's a great help. Now I know what year to look for for his birth/baptism. Much appreciated. Deoxy

Should have said, bear in mind that ages in 1841 were rounded down so he could have been in his early thirties. Also, 1841 doesn't give an exact place of birth, just yes or no to whether a person was born in the county of residence in that year. According to the census, Elizabeth was also born in Nottinghamshire so whoever gave the information got it wrong!

Thanks. I had forgotten about the rounding down. Shame about that but at least it narrows the year down a bit. He got married in Scarcliffe, Derbyshire 31st dec 1832. I wasn't sure if he might have been born round there although most Frecknalls seem to come from Nottingham. I wonder who put Elizabeths birthplace down as Nottingham. Maybe I could get William's death certificate from 1848. It might have his age on there. Thanks very much for your help. Deoxy
