Title: 1861 census look up request
Post by: Alord on Wednesday 26 January 05 17:38 GMT (UK)

I am looking for 2 people in the 1861 census; they were to get married in November of the same year and were living in St Margarets Ilketshall, Suffolk, near Bungay.

They were James Brown, aged 27/28 (profession ratcatcher) and his fiancee, Harriet Tippell/Tipple aged 22/23 (profession not known but possibly glover?).

Would appreciate a look up for these 2 if poss. 

Thanks for your time
Alison

PS neither of them could write and their ages vary hugely from census to census

Sorry No Sign of Either of these people in St Margarets Ilketshall...I double checked...When i couldnt find them there i tried the other parishes of Ilketshall to no avail...Didnt come accross anybody with the name Tipple or similar...Some Browns about but sadly no James.....Sorry.....Kris  :'(

Thanks very much for looking, I seem to be drawing a blank everywhere locally in 1861. I know they lived in Bungay later, 71/81/91/01 but can't find them before their marriage in 61.

Perhaps they werein Norfolk?  They are right on the border.

Best wishes

Hi Alison

I am doing a spot of housekeeping.  Do you still need this info please?

I eventually tracked them down in Spexhall nearby so thanks for asking.
