1841/51 census Bedford

[snowwhite77]

Hannah BIRD married John COOPER 1849 Bedford
The LDS shows her father as Joseph BIRD and mother Sarah. hannah born 1822. Bedford.

Would anybody be able to check 1841 census for Hannah living with her family. And also 1851 living with husband and family.

Many thanks
This informaion is for a friend in Australia who is helping her local church find information on this woman. apparently she provided the " music" for the church before they raised enough money to but an organ. They are looking to print information about her in their newsletter.

They would be most grateful if anyone can help.
many thanks
Amanda

Amanda, Are you still looking for this

The IGI/LDS marriage is on 30 NOV 1849 at Melchbourne, Bedford
also has christening of Hannah Bird on 04 AUG 1822 at Souldrop, Bedford

based on this I have found a record on the 1851 census living in Melchbourne Beds, of
John Cooper b 1825 Melchbourne, Beds  Ag Lab
Hannah Cooper b 1822 Souldrop, Beds   LaceMaker
+ Caroline Cooper b 1850 Mechbourne their daughter
all listed as Lodgers with
John Cooper age 70 b Risely & wife Sarah age 66 b Souldrop
most likely his parents

regards John
