Fresh eyes? 1841 Census help please (uncommon name- Blanchett)
« on: Tuesday 23 April 13 22:24 BST (UK) »
Hi, I have looked for this person a LONGggggggg time ago on a different site, but am still none the wiser & feel there may be a whole family line missing... :/

I have an Anthony Blanchett bpt 1789 at Wootton Bassett, Wilts.
The next time I have come across him is the 1851 census with a wife, Rachel (Possibly from Woding? Berkshire)

I have Anthony's death cert for 1858 in Highgate, Edmonton. Rachel (wife) present.
Rachel died in Edmonton Union Workhouse, in 1880.

As much as I've tried, with as many variant spellings as possible, I cannot find them in 1841.
I have tried 'Blanchard' as well, although it's rare that my Blanchett's were recorded as Blanchard. If anything, the name started out as 'Blanket'.

Can anybody else see the couple in 1841? I have no idea where they were married or if they had any children  ???
Any fresh eyes would be really appreciated.

Here are the couple in 1851:
Name:   Anthony Blanchett
Age:   53
Relation:   Head
Spouse's Name:   Rachel Blanchett
Born:   Wootenbosse [Wootton Bassett]
Civil parish:   Hornsey
Ref: HO107 / pc 1702 / f 212 / pg 51

Thankyou Xx

Hi

Depending where they were living in 1841 - there are missing sections of the Wiltshire and Middlesex censuses

Oh! Thankyou Carole, I didn't even think of that, I thought it was just me, not seeing them.
I had a look at that link you kindly posted. Do you know if that mean the areas are not transcribed yet, or does it mean they're missing, missing? as in, will never know :(
