1841 / 51 census - Dorchester - COBB

[HarryW]

I am trying to unravel the COBB family partly for my own tree and partly for an Australian contact who we thought had a link.

George COBB b 1798 Dorchester was married to Amelia b 1809 Hounslow MDX.   George died in 1855 (buried Dorchester 8/2/1855).

I would be grateful if someone could look up the family in the 1841 and/or 1851 census, I am particularly interested in any children living at home.

A word of caution - we believe that there are at least 4 George COBBs b in the Dorchester / Newington area within approx 5 years.
