1861 Norwich Census

[KernishKim]

Is there anyone out there who could look up a John Mitson b 1841? Ive found him in the 1871 81 91 1901 census. But would like to track him back to his parents.
WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP.
i think he lived at St Julians in Norwich. He married Mary Julia Chapman b1844
Thanks!!

Okay you are lucky, someone has done a wonderful look up for me and I have gone back several generations on different lines.  This is a thank you to them.  The 1861 Census is not in very good condition for St Julian

Samuel Mitson Hd Mar 55 Carter
mary Ann wife 52
John son 18 Labourer general

Now that's what I call service!

Thanks so much. Thats great!
But, what on earth is a "scavenger?"
 Sounds a bit dodgy to me!
I found info that a John Mitson owned property in St Julians - so I thought he was a money man!
Anyway, I cant wait to tell my Dad that his Gt Grandad "scavenged" for a living!!
