1861 Lookup Request

[tsawchuk]

Hi there,

I'm trying to find out if there's an 1861 census record for the county of Westmorland with following:  The household has a  John Bland and his wife Mary.  John was born in Orton and Mary was born in Bampton.   I'm afraid I don't know anything more about their location, except I think that their first son was named Thomas and was born in Orton too...perhaps in 1859.  Any help is gratefully accepted...

Pauline, Thanks for getting back to me so fast!  I think this might be the family I'm looking for....though I'm wondering if the the Marcy's mentioned on the 1871 census are actually misspelled / mistranscribed Mary's.  I'm pretty sure the 1881 listing of this family has them as Mary....(which is what I want!)

Thanks again for all your help,

Tara
