1841 census look up

[mygirlbill]

Could you please look in the 1841 census for Samuel Dean married to a Martha ?? Possibly still living in Marnhull, Dorset. Am trying to get a bit of an idea as to which years these 2 were born in. Much appreciated and many thanks. mygirlbill

hi mygirlbill

I had a look at the Marnhull 1841 Census and there was no Samuel & Martha Dean there.

Where did you get your info from?

In later census the only Martha Dean I can see in Marnhull is married to a George 

The only Samuel Dean I can see in Marnhull in 1841 is 3 months old, son of Charles and Mary

I can't remember where I first got the info from regarding Samuel Dean. I was told that a Samuel Dean was married to a Martha?? and that they had 2 children, twins Martha and Edward born Dec. 1803. in Marnhull, Dorset. (Daughter Martha is my direct ancestor who later married Thomas Taylor.) As for the parents, I did find them on the 1821 census and the info given there coincides with this family. (2 males 2 females) Daughter Martha was married in Gillingham in 1827 so could it be possible that the family moved to Gillingham between the years 1821 and and 1841? I have no access to a 1841 census for that area. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. mygirlbill

This newspaper extract says that Samuel had died by the time his daughter married in 1827:

There is also a reference to a Samuel Dean of Gillingham in 1825 here, but no evidence that it is the same person, except that both are fairly well off:

The Gillingham burials have been transcribed but Samuel is not there:
