1841 census look up - David Jones, Devonport or Plymouth
« on: Thursday 03 February 05 22:24 GMT (UK) »
I am having problems finding my great great great grandfather! His name was David Jones (David Jonathan Jones I think). According to the 1871, 1881 and 1901 census he was born c. 1840 in Devonport - according to the 1891 census he was born in Plymouth.

He married before 1862 in Jersey, but does not feature on the 1861 or 1851 Jersey census. I can't find him on the 1851 Devon census either.

He should be on the Devonport or Plymouth 1841 census as a child of 1 year or less. I would be very interested to know his parents names, his father' s occupation and any other siblings listed.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hi Case,

The only family I can find are the following, on Queen Street, Stoke Damerel, Devonport

Henry Jones  30  carpenter
Mary   Jones  25
Catherine Jones 10
Louisa Jones  8
Henry Jones   4
David Jones    2

All born in county.

I'm not sure if it is the correct family, but maybe there is a family history of carpentry???

Hope it Helps
