1861 look up please - WOOD
« on: Sunday 22 November 09 21:23 GMT (UK) »
Would SKS be willing to look up in the 1861 Census for Rosina Wood (b.1846, Tissington), her parents were Thomas & Sarah Wood, brother William born 1844.
They were living in Mayfield, Staffordshire in 1851.

Many thanks :)

Aitch,

I think that this is your family in 1861.

Tissington, Derbyshire

Sarah Wood        Head    Wid    56       House Keeper   born Rocester, Staffs
William Wood      Son       Mar    18       Factory Hand Peicer  b Tissington, Staffs
Ann Wood     Dau in Law Mar     23      Factory Hand Peicer   b Manchester
Rosana Wood      Dau                14      Factory Hand Peicer   b Tissington, Staffs

There also appears to be eight lodgers residing with them.  I don't know whether you want their details also.

Hope this is of some use.

Best Wishes

Great stuff cjl- Thank you!

I thought Rosina's father would be dead as he was a good deal older than the mother, but I'm so pleased to see that mother Sarah was from Rocester as this brings the family back out of Derbyshire and onto home turf of Staffs with the rest of the ancestors!

Thank you, but I don't think I need to know who the lodgers were.

Many thanks again

Aitch.

Looking at the 1851 census, I think that five of the lodgers could be Rosina's older sister Mary, her husband and children, so I will post their details.

George Cotterell      Lodger  Mar  30     Factory Hand Peicer   b Bunkshire, Ches
Mary Cotterell   Lodgers Wife Mar 30   Factory Hand Peicer  b Ashbourne
Levy Cotterell   Lodgers Son         8     Factory Hand Peicer  b Mayfield. Staffs
Agness Cotterell Lodgers Dau       5     Scholar                     b Tissington
Selina Cotterell   Lodger Dau         10 m                                b Tissington

Ooooo... super sleuthing! This gets better by the minute!
Yes, it certainly does look like Rosina's step sister from her father's first marriage. 
Their father Thomas was my 3xgreat grandfather.

Thanks again - your help is much appreciated!  :)
