Title: 1841 census lookup please - Whittaker in Cockerham
Post by: tickerwheel on Saturday 29 December 07 21:00 GMT (UK)

Could someone please lookup the 1841 census for Cockerham - Betty Whittaker. 

Should be in her 60's, married to Robert Whittaker in 1797 in Cockerham.

Many thanks.

I did an age search 1765-1785 and searched just on Whit** but nothing in that area

I notice quite a number of children born to them in Cockerham on the IGI

Thanks Carole,

Yes they had 8 sons and I have details of them.  She was Betty Threlfall married to Robert Whittaker. She was christened in 1776 October.

He died in 1836 and from the Records she died in May1842 and I think she was living with the Whittaker's in Dolphinholme then - "died at Dolphinsholme, place of abode" is in the records at Lancashire RO. She is not on the census in Dolphinsholme though in 1841 - it has been checked.

I would have thought that she would have been with one of the children - probably forgot to mention her !

Thanks a lot anyway

Neil
