COMPLETED 1841 census Sarah Smith please
« on: Friday 23 October 09 20:41 BST (UK) »
Sorry to continue this search, but I notice there is a Sarah Smith listed on 1841 census aged 2 (born 1839) living in the Reading district (I don't have a subscription so can't view the record to see the household).  The one aged 3 (born 1838) is the one living with Dennis Smith, but I have a feeling this isn't the Sarah I am looking for.  Smith is such a common name you have to be so specific.  I would be grateful if someone could lookup the one aged 2 in the Reading district to see who she is living with.  Then I will finally give up I promise!

Sorry, I misread the ages on the 1841 census.  I misread aged 4 for aged 2.  There were two births registered on freebmd for Sarah Smiths in the Reading district in 1837-8 (one aged 3 and one aged 2 at the time of the census) but it seems the one aged 2 either wasn't on the census or was misspelt.  Thanks anyway, Alison.  If Thatcham was where the nearest Sarah aged 2 resided then I think maybe that may not have been the one I am looking for, as Thatcham is 14 miles from Whitley, where the Sarah I am looking for was from.  I knew a name like Sarah Smith would be hard to trace.  Thanks for all your help on here.  I am marking this completed and that will be that with my Smith research.
