1841 & 1851 lookup request for GRIMSLEY

[Sleepykath]

Hi

Don't know if anyone can help but I'm looking for a Rebecca Grimsley (b 1839) in Bicester.  Can anyone find her on either the 1841 or 1851 census?  Her parents should be Richard and Sarah.

Thanks in advance

Kath

Hi Kath
May have your Rebecca in the 1851 Bicester census:

HO 107/1729/402

Chapel Street
Thomas (looks like Laistow but could be something different), Widower, Head, age 73, labourer, born Bicester
Sarah Grimsley, daughter, widow, age 47, washerwoman, born Bicester
Hannah Grimsley, daughter, unmarried, age 16, washerwoman, born Bicester
Rebecca Grimsley, daughter, unmarried, age 11, scholar, born Bicester

I would assume that Hannah & Rebecca were Sarah's daughter not Thomas.

There are a number of Grimsley families listed - let me know if you need more info on them.

Regards
Mike

Mike,

That's great thanks.  Looks like the right family to me.  I don't know who Thomas is though.  One puzzle solved and another one appears.

Thanks loads.
