There was a choice in 1841, and the PIECE numbers werent mapping correctly ... but when I finally looked at the original page for this chap, the hamlet is actually called 'Little Hungerford' .... albeit the PIECE and Book are for Hampstead Norris.

Hello,
I have just been looking for 'Bosley' in Berks and I found these interesting replies to your message.
I am a descendant of Esther Bosley of the 1841 Census, she was my great , great grandmother and I have a picture of her also her children. I have been looking for her siblings for a while.
If William is her brother and Henry your great grandfather, I would love to exchange information.
Best wishes,
Penlee.

There is nothing wrong with this entry on Ancestry - not sure how you were accessing or failing to access the image?
In 1841 Little Hungerford was in Hampstead Norris, today it is in Hermitage. Hampstead Norris was in the Ilsley sub district of Wantage reg dist.
The enumeration district (No 9) covered "All that part of the Parish of Hampstead Norris called the Worlds End, Little Hungerford, Ealing and Bothamstead", I have added the commas to make it more readable.

Hi Janet,
I noticed that you are looking for the Bosleys. I just found out that a Mary Ann Bozley who was born in Bucklebury in 1823 married a John Brookman in Compton, 1843.
I have not been able to find her baptism. Her father was William according to the marriage details.
I'm sure these two families are connected so if you find a link could you please let me know.
Many thanks
Lesley

Hello,
My Esther was born c1832/33 at Little Hungerford which was a Hamlet outside the village of Bucklebury, Berks. I do not know very much about the Bosley's but I know they are in the Bucklebury/Hampstead Norris area on the 1841 census but have gone according to the 1851 census.
Esther was born a generation or two before your Esther but she may well be related in some way as Shaw Kiln Road, Newbury cannot be very far from Little Hungerford .
My Esther's brothers were
Job who drowned in the Kennet and I do not know as yet whether he was married.
Edwin who became Edward, went into the army, married a Maltese girl, had one daughter who was born in Gibraltar and then he went to Canada and remained there.
William who married Mary Ann, was a brick and tile maker. He moved to Tilehurst and Egham, ending up in the midlands.
John was a brick maker and I do not know much about him yet.
Do you know the names of your Esthers parents? By any chance are any of Esther's brothers in your tree as uncles or great uncles?
Best wishes,
Penlee.
