Title: 1841 census - Hughes, Luton Bedford
Post by: picko on Tuesday 14 February 06 01:57 GMT (UK)

Hi All,

Would anyone be able to look up the 1841 census for me to find:

Abraham Hughes born 1800 Caddington Bedfordshire
Sarah Hughes born 1802 Middlesex

I realise the 1841 census doesnt have their county or place of birth.

They may or may not have children with them.
Edwin Abraham Hughes born 1823
Hannah Hughes born 1826
Sarah Ann Hughes born 1826

I found Abraham Hughes and wife in the 1851 census at Chapel Street Luton with occupation listed as SchoolMaster.

Any help VERY VERY gratefully received.

Best wishes

Hi Julie

Couldn't see them in Luton I'm afraid

Perhaps they were still in Shoreditch where the kids were born?

Regards

David

Dear David,

You were my one hope! What a shame, I have a large Australian family waiting anxiously to find this family, what a shame, I'll have to search further.

Your a Gem, thanks so much for searching for me, I know Luton was/is a big place and never expected a response so quickly.

These Hughes are doing my head in! I can't understand why they are not in the 1841 census as the daughter Sarah Ann married an Amos Haydon in 1844 Luton - surely they wanted time to prepare!!!!!! 3 years isnt much is it?

Once again THANKS HEAPS I owe you one - somehow??!
