1841 Census - Riseley - ROWNEY

[marc roberts]

Could I please request a look-up for the following family in Riseley from the 1841 census:

John ROWNEY [b. c.1800]
Hannah ROWNEY [b. c.1804]
known children-
Samuel ROWNEY [c.1825]
George ROWNEY [c.1827]
William ROWNEY [c.1829]
Thomas ROWNEY [c.1831]

some of them may be deceased.

Any other ROWNEY's in town would also be of great interest.

I would also be very interested to know whether the household of William and Mary FLAVELL (or FLAVEL or FLAVIL, etc) is nearby. I'm particularly concerned with their daughter Maria FLAVELL [b.1825] who later married a related ROWNEY in Australia.

Many thanks for any assistance.

All the best,
Marc

Thank you very much for that, David.

Did you happen to notice whether there were any FLAVELL's at all in town in the census? The information I have seems to suggest that a number of Maria's siblings, at least, were in Riseley by the 1830's. Perhaps William and Mary themselves might have been dead by then. I have also seen the name given as FLEVIL. Maria and her siblings were born at Swineshead, which might have been in either Bedfordshire or Huntingdonshire around that time.

Thanks again for your help.

All the best,

Marc

Thank you very much again, David.

Reuben and Isaac were two of the siblings I had information on. There was also a Sophia who was married in Riseley in 1843, but perhaps she hadn't arrived yet. A number of other siblings (all unmarried) are clearly absent, including Maria, it would appear, and they make up the group who first came to Australia in 1845. It was the connection with Riseley I was interested in however, so thank you very much for clearing that up.

All the best,

Marc
