1841 Census lookup pls-SPRECKLEY

[whoosh]

Hi,
I am looking for a John SPRECKLEY on the 1841 Census.
He was born about 1820 in Peterborough and later lived in Whittlesea.
Many thanks for any help that can be provided.
Have a nice day,

Hi Darren

Whittlesey is in Cambridgeshire and Cambs FHS has  an online index for 1841 and 1851  at  http://www.cfhs.org.uk/Search.html

In 1851 what appears to be your man was at Arnold St, Whittlesey
John Spreckley head marr 31 Carpenter/joiner journeyman born Peterborough
Eleanor Spreckley wife 27 b Huntingdon, Hunts
Mary Ann Spreckley fau 2 b Whittlesey
(unnamed) Spreckley son 5 wks b Whittlesey

The index shows a John Sprichley, but I think the entry is actually Sprickley, as follows
Arnold St, Whittlesey
John Sprickley 21 carpenter not born in Cambs
in household of John Cheshire 30 cordwainer and family

regards

David

Hi,
Thanks for the info-very appreciated.
I was unaware of the Cambs link so thanks for that.
I am unsure of what the reference to Flintoff-Whoosh is?
Can you elaborate?
If it is to do with cricket I am actually an England supporter in cricket. Bob Willis was my boyhood idol and I have supported England in cricket ever since even though I am 5th generation Australia. Some might think that is a bit wierd *s*
Cheers,
Darren

Hello again David,
I pasted this from the link you sent me.
Can you tell me anything about the Charles Spreckley listed?
Cheers,
Darren
