1841 Census Look Up Please
« on: Monday 25 October 10 12:18 BST (UK) »
Looking for William Hinchcliff(e) born 1817 in Skelmanthorpe.  Possibly living in Dewsbury.  Possibly has a wife called Mary at this time.

I get 4 results on my subscription site, Ancestry but ELEVEN results on a free search of FindMyPast  ::)

If anyone can find a likely candidate I'd appreciate the piece, folio and page number.

Thanks  :)

The only William, of the right age, living in Dewsbury is William Hincliffe living with Sarah Hincliffe (age 55).

TNA Reference HO107, Piece 1269, Book/Folio 4/40 Page 14.
That's in Batyfor, Mirfield.

Parmesan....

According to the IGI William was baptised September 8th 1817 at Skelmanthorpe Wesleyan (born June 1st )

His Parents were JOSEPH and MARY nee Field

This may help in finding him in 1841 , if he was not married.

Hi Philip

This sounds hopeful as he is a tallow chandler in 1851, but what page number is on the census?  I put HO107/1323/1 and got some Hinchcliffe's in Cawthorne but can't find Denby Dale on the info you gave me.

Hope you can help?

Thanks  :)

Hi again

Eureka!  After sitting there looking at the handwriting and saying 'Skilman Sharp' and looking at google maps and drawing a blank, I thought does that second word say 'Thorp'?  Skilman Thorp, Skilman Thorp ....  oh you DOPE its SKELMANTHORPE which is EXACTLY right  ;D

Thanks very much once again Philip.
