1841 Lookup Please- Ann Smart.
« on: Thursday 27 October 11 15:48 BST (UK) »
Hi All.
My GGG/Grandmother Lucy Rowley (nee Smart) was Christened in 1796 at Shenstone Staffordshire, on Family Search it states only her mothers name Ann Smart as parent. Could some kind person please lookup the 1841 census for the Shenstone area for a Ann Smart possibly aged between 65 and 75 years old. I dont know where Ann Smart was born but I assume it was  Staffordshire possibly Shenstone, and Im just estimating her age. Any help will be really appreciated.
Many Thanks Dave.

this looks to be the same couple on the 1851c

1851 HO107; Piece: 2014; Folio: 118; Page: 6
Stonnall Shenstone
Thomas Smart Head  58 (1793) Lichfield Labourer
Ann Smart wife 81 Lichfield Staffs
1 lodger

possibly they have made a mistake & Ann Smart is in fact Thomas' mother and not his wife  ???

Thos. Smart
16 Jun 1793 St Mary, Lichfield Staffordshire
Mother's Name: Ann Smart

Hi patrish/Ladyhawk.
Many thanks for your replies.
I think that this could well be my GGGG/Grandmother, I agree that on the 1851 census she as been mistranscribed as wife instead of mother. It would appear that Lucy and Thomas were both born out of wedlock. Once again many thanks.
Regards Dave.
