1861/71 census, Westwell
« on: Thursday 24 November 22 16:03 GMT (UK) »
Hi - I’m looking for Edward WARD b. 1840, Westwell, in the above census, with possible wife Jane.

Also Ellen BUTCHER, b. 1831, Westwell, with husband Joseph, and Elizabeth SWAN, b. 1834, with husband Charles.  (Siblings of Edward above).

I’d appreciate any sightings!

Thank you, Linda

Thank you both!  I “think” Edward married Jane, I need to see the actual marriage record, which hopefully would show the fathers names.

Wonderful, exactly who I was hoping the father would be!
Could I have the details of the other marriages please?

Edward, Ellen and Elizabeth’s older brother John is my 4 x great grandfather - I have all the details on him coming forward, but  I am trying to expand the family!

Thank you very much, Linda
