Title: 1841 lookup in Thorney/Broadholme/Wigsley HALL & SMITH families
Post by: adamhalifax on Tuesday 28 March 06 10:23 BST (UK)

I'm trying to find two families in this area in 1841 but don't have access to the census for Notts. Please could someone with access to this census have a look and see if they can find them for me?

There are three villages where both these families are likely to have lived in 1841:

Thorney HO107/862 book 11 folio 1-7
Broadholme HO107/862 book 12 folio 1-4
Wigsley HO107/862 book 13 folio 1-4

The Hall family in 1841 they would most likely be composed of:

George HALL, 48, Ag Lab, born Thorney
Sarah HALL, 45, born Little Markham
William HALL, 18,born Thorney
Jane HALL, 18, born Wigsley/Thorney
George HALL, 16, born Thorney
Ann HALL, 13, born Thorney
Betsey HALL, 2, born Thorney

Of this family, I'm interested in Jane who went on to marry Joseph SMITH in 1849 whose family possibly consisted of:

William SMITH, labourer, possibly around 50yo
(wifes name unknown)
Joseph SMITH, poss servent or Ag Lab, age 18, born South Carlton, Lincs
+ other children as yet unknown.
 
I'm stuck on these, especially the Smiths as all I know of Joseph's family is from his marriage certificate in 1849 where his father is listed as William, so any information would be fantastic.

Thanks,
Adam

Thank you so very much for this information Heather. The Halls are definitely there, and it looks like it may be the right Joseph although I know it's a common name. I was hoping he'd be with his family, but I knew it would be unlikely as labourers tended to move around a lot.

Thanks again for your help,

Adam

You've probably seen, but from the IGI, baptism South Carlton 23 Sep 1814 Joseph Smith to William and Eliza

Also William 29 Aug 1812

There are later children there from 1817 to William and Ann(e). Not sure if this is a different family or a second marriage?

Thanks again Heather. The date for Joseph (b1814) is too far out to be my Joseph as he is consistantly listed on census and his death cert as being born 1823.

As he is always listed as being born in S. Carlton, I wonder if his parents might be William and Ann living there in 1851. I'll have to find a record of his birth/bapt to prove this.

Thanks again,
Adam
