Look up request 1841/51 census - POPE

[Ron Millard]

Could anyone look up Thomas Pope in the 1841 or 1851 census. Thomas Pope was born about 1837 at Thorley, Hertfordshire and is believed to have remained in the county for his whole life.

Many thanks

Hello Ron

This looks like this could be him on the 1841 Census. The 1841 does not give relationships within families or place of birth.  Adult ages tend to be rounded to nearest 5.

Many thanks Rick - I'm pretty certain that's him. On checking the information I have on the young Thomas, by 1881 he was a barge labourer himself - obviously this ran in the family!

Many thanks for your help

Do you still need an 1851 lookup for Thomas?

Hi Rick

Thanks for getting in touch, but I don't need a look-up in the 1851 census. Thanks for your help.
