COMPLETED THANKS - 1841 census lookup - Barrow Gurney/Backwell

[ribbo39]

Hi,
I would appreciate a lookup  please, in the 1841 census for Barrow Gurney/Backwell.  I am  particularly interested in John Saunders  and wife Sarah & family.
I have  a feeling that John Saunders may have died about the time the census was taken and possibly buried on the 8-6-1841.

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Hello Keyboard86,

That could very well be the family.

What is more interesting is the the Joseph Gaunt who I've not heard of before. Charlotte Gaunt was married to someone surnamed Gaunt and I have a family bible entry saying that "Charlotte Gaunt dau. of John & Sarah Saunders died 25-12-1848 aged 36 years"

I will have to see if she was the wife of Joseph Gaunt.

Even more intrique is them saying not born in the county as I thought they were all born in Som.

I wonder who Ann Blackmore was - a lodger?

Hi Alan, looking at the orignal for the 1841, in the case of Charlotte Gaunt and Ann Blackmore, the column for "Where born etc" is empty, all the others on the page show either Yes or No, so it looks like the enumerator forgot to fill it in!!
