1851 - Donnington, Shropshire census look up please

[Kazlee]

Hi Please could someone look up the following on the Donnington, Shropshire 1851 census:-

Joseph (born abt. 1807) & Elizabeth (born abt. 1808) Massey.
Their children are - Elizabeth, Joseph, Matthew & Sarah.  I also wonder if any of Elizabeth's children from her first marriage are living with them.  Their names are William, John and Thomas Morgan.

Thanks
Kaz

Address was Rookery Row and all were born in the county. The entry appears a few pages after the Donnington Wood entries.

This household appears at Donnington Wood

Could this be your William staying with his Grandmother? Sorry but no relationships are given in the 1841 Census.

Thank you so much Helen, for all the useful information.  I'm going to have to do more research to establish if the William is the right one, but the age certainly matches, so it's looking good so far.  Thanks again.
