1841 Census Look Up Please

[dhouston]

I'm trying to find details of William Nicholson, born about 1826, Sheffield in 1841 census.
Might give me his parent's names.
Thanks.

Hi,

This one seems the nearest to your request :

1841 census:
HO107/1338/3, Folio 47, Page 16

Yorkshire, Sheffield
Lee Croft

Hannah Nicholson, 44
Walter Deakin, 20, Cutler
Willm Nicholson, 15, Cutler
Willm Jennings, 18
Mary Nicholson, 17

All born in county, still trying to decipher the last two occupations ?? 

Kind regards,

Pels.

I think William Jennings is a Butcher, and Mary Nicholson is a Hair Dresser.

I think you're right Jennifer !!

I have William's mother as Martha, not sure about this one, will take note of it, thanks.

I have William's mother as Martha, not sure about this one, will take note of it, thanks.

It might have helped if you'd mentioned that, you did say you were looking for his parents, the implication being, you didn't know who they were ??

We could have then looked elsewhere !! 

Do you have any idea who his father may, or may not be ??

[dhouston]

I don't have much. His mother was mentioned once on William's 1861 or 1871 census as Martha. I haven't found her yet.

How old was Martha was on the census, it helps to give as much information as possible, even if you think it's immaterial. Sometimes the smallest amount can help us find them.

Nicholson was and still is, a fairly common name in Yorkshire !!

Only have one mention of Martha from calmar on 16th September.
1871 census Sheffied, William Nicholson, 45...
It says on the record that William's mother is Martha but she's not shown as living with them.
