This will sound pathetic...I have never had a clue about where the folio, page number etc. are on the censuses! It's awful I know...I just find it quite confusing  :-[
Anyway, thanks for looking! :)

My guess:

William Dunkley, head, wid, 81, Pauper late agricultural labourer, b. East  ???
Mary Ann, dau, wid, 45, Lace maker, b. Long Buckby
Ann, granddau, 16?
William, grandson, 11, scholar
Calib Rainbow, grandson, mar, 27
Sarah do, granddau, mar, 25
William, g-gson, 6, scholar
Sarah Ann, g-granddau, 4
George, g-grandson, 1

Thanks Tanja - all I had was a printed copy in front of me and I couldn't make it out for the life of me! Odd that Caleb and Sarah are down as being their 'grandchildren', especially as Sarah's maiden name was Bird...

 :D

My guess is the enumerator found it simpler to put her down as 'gdau' instead of 'gson's wife'  :P
Title: Re: Could someone help me decode this census
Post by: Katie123 on Thursday 16 February 06 10:18 GMT (UK)
Maybe, or I suppose the Dunkley's could have been Sarah's mother's parents, and they were staying with them at the time of the Census?

Right - the other way round then  :)

Thank you very much, Sandy! That's really great!  :D

I'm sorry to be such an awful pain but could you please help me find one more thing...the marriage of William Rainbow to his first wife, called Susannah, whose maiden name was, I belive, Steward.

Hello Katie

Did you know there's a topic posted on the Bedfordshire Lookup Requests for Kisby Cotching - where in my reply I've found a William Rainbow, grandson born 1843 Aspley Guise, in the family of Kisby Draper.
 
The IGI has WR's christening, with parents John Rainbow & Eleanor. From the 1851 census John Rainbow was born Yardley Hastings in 1805. The IGI in turn has his christening, naming parents Caleb Rainbow & Hannah.

Could these Rainbows be linked - is there a pot of gold at each end  ;)

Regards John

Thank you very much, John!
Those are my Rainbows alright! I found William (b. 1801) in the IGI with parents Caleb and Hannah, but had never found John before. At last, the possibility of getting further back with my Rainbows  :D!
Thank you very much!

That's great Katie

I'll leave it to you to contact Darren on the Beds topic regarding your link

Hello Katie! John Rainbow and Eleanor draper are my x3 grandparents. I am a decendant from Lucy rainbow. They were Roma gypsy and came from Buckinghamshire.

Which sibling do you come from?

Kind regards
