1841 Census lookup please: Samuel ABBOTT, b abt 1786-COMPLETED, MANY THANKS :)

Hi there,

Would someone be so kind as to look up Samuel ABBOTT, b abt 1786, Berwick St John Wiltshire in the 1841 Census?

I have him living in Stour Provost in 1851 and 1861.

As far as I can see, according to the PR's for this parish he married Mary PARSONS on 9 Apr 1806.  It looks as if she died in 1848, and I'd love any clue as to where to start looking for her as she doesn't appear in the baptism registers for Stour Provost, and at least the 1841 Census might list the county she was born in which would be a good start!

Regards,

Patricia

Hi there,

Thanks so much for that, I'll have a closer look at the Chalbury baptism on the weekend, I looked at parishes within a 10 mile radius of Stour Provost last night and found a few...but this is another one to consider

In 1851 & 1861, Samuel ABBOTT is clearly listed as born Berwick St John, but that is close to the 'border' between Dorset and Wiltshire, so it would be an easy mistake to make:

1851 UK Census:
6 Mill Lane; Samuel ABBOTT; Head; Widower; 65; Parish Relief; Wilts BerwickSt John
Edwin ABBOTT; Visitor; ; 7; Scholar; Todber;
Job ABBOTT; Visitor; ; 5; Scholar; Stour Provost;

1861 UK Census:
Bee House?; 1; Charles BARRETT; Head; Mar; 47; Inn Keeper &  Tea Dealer; Fulmer Buckinghamshire;
Rezia BARRETT; Wife; Mar; 48; Donhead St Andrew Wiltshire;
Mary BARRETT; Dau; Un; 17; Stour Provost;
Richard BARRETT; Son; Un; 12; Scholar; Stour Provost;
Amelia BARRETT; Dau; 9; Scholar; Stour Provost;
Louisa BARRETT; Dau; 6; Scholar; Stour Provost;
Mary GIBBS; Widow; Mar; 83; blind; Stour Provost;
Samuel ABBOTT; Widower; Mar; 74; Agricultural Labourer; Berwick St John Wilts;

Once again, most appreciated

Regards,

Patricia
