1841 Census Leicester-William MARCH

[lollysmum]

Would sks please do a lookup for William MARCH. I have very little information. 1871 census shows him as born abt 1836 in Leicester so he would be abt 5 in 1841. Hoping to identify his family.

In 1871 he was living in Nottingham then disappears off the face of the earth!!

TIA

Sorry.... But with out a name search programme or Index with the
1841. Census it will be a trawl  through page after page to find them
I did have a look for them in the same place as above but NO luck
But I'll keep my eyes open for them & YES it does work.......

Thanks for your efforts Mike
I wasn't aware that it is a major production for searching the 1841 census.

I already knew of this family from 1851 census but the 1861 also shows another William MARCH of the right age at Welford Road, age 26 an iron and brass founder which would fit in better with his later occupation as an engineer. I was hoping for something definite in the 1841 i.e. parents brothers and sisters. Looks like I'll have to buy the 1841 census and trawl through. Thanks for trying anyway-I do appreciate it.

Greeting’s Again…….

Having looked that that 1861. Census……..
Here is the same Family in 1851. :-

But No William with them.....

And  like the other March Family they are NOT in the same place in 1841.
Or the few streets around within the same folder No. ….Sorry.

MIKE.

[lollysmum]

Greeting’s Again…..

There we Go……

1841. Census Image.
HO 107 / 604 /10 / Page. 21.
Leicester.
St. Margaret’s Parish.
Bridge Street.

William March. 35. Book Keeper. N.
Harriet. Wife. 35. Y.
Fanny Jezebel. Dau. 4 Months Old. Y.

Also Living with them :-
Hannah Barratt. 18. Female Servant. Y.
Richard Eabry. 40. Ribbon Maker. N. I. = Ireland.

Looks like Ann T could be with Grandparents
due to the new Baby ?

Y. = YES Born within the County.
N. = NO. Not born within the County.
I. = Ireland.

Don’t forget on this Census
The ages of those over 15.
Were rounded DOWN
To the nearest multiple of 5
e.g. 36. = 35.


I had a look to see if there was any evidence
of any Glover Families in Markfield but drew a blank.

This is the only reference to a Glover in Markfield.:-
 Glover Burial for Markfield found.
MARKFIELD   GLOVER   ANN   16   JUN   1814   AGED. 89   ABODE SWITHLAND.

Wow Mike
What a star you are. William was six years older than Fanny Isabella so its possible both he and Ann been shipped off to relatives whilst Harriett had the baby.

The marriage date would fit with a birth of William in 1835 or 6 with Ann T the eldest born 1834

The William I'm looking for was well educated and that just didn't fit with him being a FWK from the other March family in Leicester!

Thank you so much for your help.

Not sure if you are still active but William's Sister, Annie Tyler March was my Great great Grandmother.  She married Charles Jones b1834. He was a Public Accountant in 1881. Found  your threads interesting.

I found it strange that William appeared to be living with a 16 year old in 1841 but on looking futher  he was also with Betsy Sanderson. I believe she was his father's Sister, Elizabeth March.

Would love to share any info of the family.

Hello Jeanette-it's a very long time you posted about William March's sister & you're right I wasn't active when you replied. Today is the 1st time I've logged in since 2009. Lack of time for this all-consuming hobby & full time work meant that something had to give. So if you are still around apologies for not replying earlier. Life got in the way.


I still haven't cracked what happened to William-he just disappears from Nottingham between the 1871 & 1881 census. No death records anywhere. William was my great great grandfather.

Belated thanks for your post. I need to organise my records before I start searching as the company that provided my Family Origins software no longer exists so I need to buy new software before I can do anything. Hope you are still around would love to exchange info at some point.
