Suz, I am absolutely amazed. With your help this allows me to track back to 1797 for the Enevers( have to track down the birth certificates, etc).  this is a great start to my project!

that will throw a track in the family...which s the correct spelling!!!

[suzard]

It's Coker on every other census

possibly the enumerator just spelled phonetically

personally I never think there is a correct spelling of any surname - baptisms are just written as heard -or misheard in some cases

1841 census

did you know this differs from other census ?

There are no relationships given
Ages are rounded down on adults 15+ years to the nearest 5 yrs (e.g. someone age given 15 could be between 15-19(somtimes people think there are twins or even triplets in the fmily -as there are 2 or more children age 15 in the 1841 census
also only Yes or no is given in answer to whether they were born in the county they were living in -unless they were b Scotland (answer would be S) Ireland (I) or F = Foreign parts

1841
maybe John's father - and possibly he was previously married?

John Coker 40 carpenter yes
Caroline 35 yes

I really appreciate this. I have tracked down a signifianctpart of my mothers side of the family (originally from Canada) and am keen to trace the male line for the Cokers back as far as practical.
