Blunt family - 1841 - 1851 census Please

[J.J.]

I am wondering if I can get help with my recent finds. I used info from census from 1861 & Up, BMD, FamResCtr. & the aid of friends thus far.
I found this death: March 1842 BLUNT Robert- Shrewsbury. Need to know if this is my ancestor? Perhaps I may get lucky & find someone with the 1841 & 1851 census to see where Robert Blunt, retired chemist was living.
...also many blank deaths along the way. Have most marriages...except the ones in blue...& no documents, yet. Missing many children, also...Sorry if there is too much information....but have gotten heck for putting too little(lol)

Hello my genealogy crew!!! 
The above was an attempt at putting more information ...although I think it scared people off as I received no replies...It  does, however, have most of the information on it with blanks of missing info...I have the 1861 and 1871 with Thomas Senior and also Thomas Porter 1871, 1881 and 1891. ( paid for those just before I found rootschat! Didn't know about this site and didn't even know you could view some basic info on the census back then!!! )
   I tried to find Robert Blunt in Southwark, so was wondering if he might have moved to Shrewsbury ...as both his sons ended up there, working as chemists...Worth a try, anyway!

Thanks a million for looking things up for me...

Hi Jeany

I've been trawling through the census returns to get the Blunt family straight in my head but I haven't found Thomas and Elizabeth Blunt yet in the 1861 census.

If you have that info, could you post it.  It will help me looking at the later census and make it easier for someone else to look at the 1851 (I haven't got access to that one).

Will follow things up tomorrow.

Best wishes
Monica

Dear Monica....
  I had thought that maybe with a bit of luck someone might find Robert & Ann either in Thomas Sr's home or in Henry's home...or even on their own in Shrewsbury. Please don't fret over this, I'll feel badly. I know it can be hard to wrap one's mind over someone else's genealogy...

I've got the 1871 also... for Thomas sr...so the only ones that I would need for him would be the 1851 or earlier if there is such a thing...?  Jeany

I've popped into this thread too!!!!

I see that in 1871 Thomas Blunt was living at 111 John Place.  Can't say that I've heard of that, but there is a St John's Hill which could possibly be nearby.

When I take your photos Jeany, I  have also got to take a couple of St John's Hill so will have a nose round for John Place.

Maybe Monica is familiar with the name?

Hi, Jan I am just looking at the actual images of the census, and the 1861 said St. John's row or Tower Place...The numbers were from 30 to 35 and Thomas sr. was in 35.....But I just looked at the actual image of the 1871 and it distinctly says Tower Place...I suppose the T does look like a "J" but that was transcribed wrong!
I never  looked to compare before as I always refer to my printed images.  I asked
for the typed file just in case I couldn't read some things...

Well on that census. the addresses go from 111, to 115...Hmmm... I think I will put up the other 2, also...
